Middle East

 * This blog, EthicsBlackHole, was started in 2007 (when I learned about blogging) to protest our criminal invasion of Iraq.  Below are 23 protests of our Middle-East meddling:
0701 Iraq-War Decision
0701 World better sans Saddam
0701 Just-war theory
0701 Naive Iraq Plan
0701 Iraq-war runup
0702 Iraq Peace
0702 US-Iranian Relations
0702 Guantanamo detainees
0703 Mistakes were made
0704 Female oppression
0710 No more preemptive wars please
0801 Iraq War Cost
0901 Israel / Gaza
1302 My Dick Cheney Ramblings
1305 Conventional wisdom from both sides
1312 Israeli security
1402 Less harmful coercion
1409 Arab spring
1503 Appeal of Jihad to Western Muslims
1503 Of cells, people, tribes, nations and tumors
1507 What about Iran
1509 Migration Dynamics
1509 US Middle-East Policy
 * Last week, Vladimir Putin announced Russia’s plan to take the government’s side in the Syrian civil war.  One can see in several of the above entries that I agree with Putin’s characterization of the Arab Spring and Syrian Civil War.  We should have stayed out of those conflicts.  Obama, Clinton and Kerry still fail to understand the factors preventing democratic rule in those countries, as did Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the conservative think tanks.
