Right Wing Myths: Who are ISIS?: Perhaps the popular vision or impression of Isis has focused too much on what Isis could become in the future, as opposed to understanding w...
This is one side of the discourse about ''Why ISIS''. I cannot remember the exact title of the article, but one of its assumptions within the ranks of the Saddam high ranking officers [mostly Sunni, some were Shia] was that when the Americans topple Saddam, the US will hire these officers to establish civil order along with their respective commands. Within this framework, it seems to subsume that these high ranking officers many have not fought hard enough to preserve the Saddam regime [this is not a praise for Saddam, he is another story altogether]. Be that as it may, the US who are rather slow in recognizing their tenuous understanding of the civil society and weaving of Iraqi politics/social order failed the hopes of the Sunni would be US allies to maintain social order.This poor US intelligence and greed for oil, made them allow the vandalism of the ancient artifact of 5,000 yrs. to be demolished for lack of protection from the looters, thieves and opportunists who ransacked the museums without mercy. This was one point when it became very plain that Americans are greedy and ignorant about Middle East Culture. [The destruction of the Bameyan Buddhas and latter the ISIS destruction of other artifacts convinced me how dark men's heart are]. This is not a gender bias, but the dismay at the disastrous and unrecoverable loss of early civilization artifacts [setting aside lives, another story of its own] perpetrated by men who lost all sensibilities.
The dream of Saddam's cohort were blown to bits when they were disbanded, disarmed en mass and left abandoned to the mercy of the Shia who came at them with a vengeance. Some of key men of Saddam escaped the net and the Middle East got ISIS. The Shia government and the pandemic corruption [chronic social illness] led the country in disarray. Unfortunately, the Shia ruling classes never ruled Iraq before, long enough to hold sway in the imagination of the whole people and have not grasped a possible escape from feudalism through concerted effort to build on republican ideas.It is needless to say that in Saddam's time [imperfect, as it were] had more educational facilities and degrees in the liberation of men and women to achieve education and training to build a modern nation. All of that is lost. Iraq as it is now and ISIS are the deadly gifts that keeps on giving grief from that headless Bush who invested Iraq on false pretenses in the UN, The US created ISIS, and never forget that the majority of the 9/11 were manned mostly by Saudi Arabs, whose royal family will allowed to leave the US one day after attack when there were no fly zones all over the US. So, who created ISIS? Who will solve ISIS? The answer is inescapable. Who committed the greater crime?The rhetorical questions do not answer what will become of ISIS. It is a rapidly mutating entity, the concerted response of the West will determine what ISIS will be but only for a time, the rest is ambiguity the West never dreamed about.
