Alwaght-According to Global Research, Much like Al Qaeda, the Islamic State (ISIS) is made-in-USA, an apparatus of terror designed to divide and conquer the oil-rich West Asia and to counter Iran is growing influence in the region.
The Islamic State is its latest weapon that, much like Al Qaeda, is certainly backfiring. In order to understand why the Islamic State has grown and flourished so quickly, one has to look at the organization’s American-backed roots. The 2003 American invasion and occupation of Iraq created the pre-conditions for radical Sunni groups, like ISIS, to take root. America, rather unwisely, destroyed Saddam Hussein’s secular state machinery and replaced it with a predominantly Shiite administration. Global Research noted that The U.S. occupation caused vast unemployment in Sunni areas, by rejecting socialism and closing down factories in the naive hope that the magical hand of the free market would create jobs.
Under the new US-backed Shiite regime, working class Sunni’s lost hundreds of thousands of jobs. Unlike the white Afrikaners in South Africa, who were allowed to keep their wealth after regime change, upper class Sunni’s were systematically dispossessed of their assets and lost their political influence. Rather than promoting religious integration and unity, American policy in Iraq exacerbated sectarian divisions and created a fertile breading ground for Sunni discontent, from which Al Qaeda in Iraq took root.
As Global Research writes, ISIS is not merely an instrument of terror used by America to topple the Syrian government; it is also used to put pressure on Iran. Despite what the Western media’s war cries would have you believe, Iran is clearly not the threat to regional security.
America is using ISIS in three ways: to attack its enemies in West Asia, to serve as a pretext for U.S. military intervention abroad, and at home to foment a manufactured domestic threat, used to justify the unprecedented expansion of invasive domestic surveillance.Global Research concluded that Terrorism is the symptom; American imperialism in the West Asia is the cancer.
