Headline: "Muslim extremists in Mali are pillaging tombs and other sites sacred to Sufis in Timbuktu". Can this be allowed to happen in other countries? Hind sight is 20/20 in Iraq. What was not taken into consideration is the role of Muslim sectarian violence. A poster here said the Koran forbids Muslin against Muslim violence. Well...that does not seem to be taking place around the world. It is not Americans bombing Iraqis...It is Iraqis bombing Iraqis!!! It is Muslims killing other Muslims. The USA gave Iraq a chance at Democratic freedoms. If Islam is working against individual freedoms...it is Islam not the USA at fault. There are tons of articles written by ex CIA operatives, veterans and some investigative reporters like Seymour Hersh and many others who, all, emphasize on the role of the consecutive US admin. into creating, financing and controlling those so called Muslim extremists. One veteran Colonel told the New "York Times" his own experience in Iraq, part of it his seeing of CIA planes bringing some 40 "Mujahideen" Afghans to a US military base in Nasiriiyah (southern Iraqi city) with their machine guns and transporting them in Iraqi licensed buses.........

We know the U.S citizen will not ask this and similar basic questions to President Obama. It is not part of their tradition. What is critically important is why does the rest of the world continue to listen to U.S calls for more wars and more destabilising of new countries-which means more wars and more misery?

We are leaving behind a 'Democratic, Prosperous and Stable Iraq' -Barack Obama; Americans should ask him to take his next holiday in the stable Iraq they left behind.

It is only a natural continuation of “the democracy & the peace” they brought to Iraq toppling the one who kept the peace in Iraq. And their new “peace” era started by killing him and his cabinet. So it isn’t a Breaking News but the Old Tragedy news repeating again and over again. Just as in Afghanistan and Libya until they mange to kick out the tyrants posing as "democratic peace keepers."

It is beyond me why the world continue to listen to the U.S after turning Iraqi to a playground for death and destruction.The imperialists want to engineer the same scheme of endless sectarian warfare in Syria. Russia must hold the line in Syria.
