West dishonest broker in Iraq’s civil unrest

Sir, In a war based on lies, the latest lie is that somehow the West is in Iraq as some sort of honest broker between warring factions, the truth is the diametrical opposite. Everything that happens in Iraq is the responsibility of the West. Our illegal, immoral war broke the bonds that held Iraqi society together and for the first time in the country’s history, Shi’a, Sunni and Kurds are killing each other.

Added to this the US has handed out hundreds of thousands of guns to both sides, arming Shi’a and Sunni, including previous members of al-Qa’ida and people who have killed Americans.

Meanwhile, in southern Iraq, the British knowingly recruited sectarian militias and gave them influence in the police which led to a situation of Shi’a killing Shi’a while the British army whistles at Basra airport.

So exactly who has stoked a civil war?
