ISIL the orphans and lost generation of the Iraq war.

[WDIM]

At the beginning of the Iraq war myself and many other political watchers predicted a war in Iraq would lead to a orphaned and lost generation of children who will be seeking revenge when they are grown. Average age of a ISIL recruit between 16-25. This is that lost generation. The orphaned children of Iraq that have known nothing but war for their entire lifetime.

Dont get me wrong it doesnt excuse their brutallity and lack of humanity but it does explain it. We reap what we sow and the US has sown the seeds of war in the Middle East and the effects may be felt for many many more years possible even generations.
