Not just Paris, entire West burning from senseless war

The Paris massacre is likely more blowback from endless, senseless warfare of Western powers in the Middle East. Most honest observers of the madness we've perpetrated on Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and now Syria are correct in identifying the US and its allies' role in creating ISIS, expanding al Qaeda and destabilizing the entire region. While we spend trillions to bomb innocents , the monsters we've created spend a pittan...ce for a few Kalashnikovs and grenades to demonstrate the age old proverb that 'violence begets violence.' We kill hundreds of thousands and the nation just yawns and offers "Let's not look back, let's look forward." That files in the face of the Nuremburg Trial edict that criminal war must be punished; no exceptions.

Watch the war party exploit the Paris atrocity to ramp up our utterly futile, doomed effort to control who governs in a currently ungovernable land. After failing in Afghanistan, failing in Iraq, failing in Libya, we assumed we could use the Syrian civil war to remove Syrian leader Assad whom we couldn't control. By so doing we armed thousands who used our weaponry to spread the Islamic Caliphate to Syria, prevent a land sharing agreement, and doomed tens of thousands more to needless death, including now the 150 innocents in Paris.

Instead of using the Paris massacre to promote more warfare, let's use it to engage in an honest discussion of our 15 year, multi trillion dollar failure that brought us this latest tragedy which pales in comparison to the carnage we've unleashed upon four Middle East countries. You will likely not find that suggestion in mainstream media. They are in the tank for the war party, American exceptionalism, and the white hat, black hat narrative. Forget 50 shades of grey. In US foreign policy, there is not a single one.
