War has a trickle down affect

ISIS has taken credit for the Paris attack, but give credit to those who deserve it -- there's plenty to share.

Start with Bush and Cheney, add anyone who voted for the Iraq war.

(That may, or may not include your candidate. Sorry. Actions have repercussions. )

This reality is on them, because war has a trickle down affect...

and Cheney, it has been on going for many many years. I posted link in the video forum to the Bitter Lake documentary. I hope people would take the time to watch.

It also outlines the US's alliance with Saudi Arabia, especially the former's agreement to buy Saudi oil, for control of a key energy supplier during the cold-war era, with Saudi Arabia gaining wealth and security in return, with agreement withstanding provided it was allowed to continue its violent and fundamentalist interpretation of Islam, Wahhabism, uninhibited from external influence. This in turn has fed like a feedback loop back into the many troubles the world faces with regards to various pseudo-Jihadic forces spanning the 1970s to present day; be they the Mujahideen, Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and into IS.

and their actions were fraudulent. These individuals are within our sphere of influence. Start with them, and expand outward.

your point and I don't mean to argue, I just don't understand why some do not see our actions have caused a lot of problems in the world.

Anyone who voted for that war should be held responsible. Everything happening today is a direct result of that fucking war.
