Editor,
A diplomatic fallout is currently taking place between the nations of Turkey and Iraq, but it is only a small symptom of a much larger problem. The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has long been accused by regional leaders and political analysts of being one of ISIS’ biggest supporters; his recent comments seem to cement these accusations. Speaking about the volunteer militias in Iraq, who are bravely driving ISIS out of Iraq, President Erdogan said, “In the fight against Daesh (ISIS) in Iraq there is something striking. It’s interesting, the Iraqi parliament says the Hashd al-Sha’abi (volunteer militias) is not a terror group but what is interesting is who is behind this terror group.” The Iraqi government rightly responded by summoning the Turkish ambassador in an attempt to put Erdogan the bully in his place.
If Turkey is a strong ally of the U.S, Saudia Arabia and Israel then it makes sense to conclude that those countries are actually the puppet masters of ISIS. This idea of the U.S. and her allies being amigos with ISIS is far from being a conspiracy theory. Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has taken the brave step of introducing the Stop Arming Terrorists Act. Speaking about the bill, Gabbard said, “The fact that American taxpayer dollars are being used to strengthen the very terrorist groups we should be focused on defeating should alarm every Member of Congress and every American. We call on our colleagues and the Administration to join us in passing this legislation.”When you put all the pieces of the puzzle together then we see something very strange taking place in the Middle East. You have terrorist pawns being used by countries like the U.S., Turkey, Israel and Saudia Arabia in order to overthrow independent governments who refuse to be political slaves. The resistance in the Middle East is being lead by countries and groups like Syria, Iran, Russia and Hezbollah. In order to do our part, we, the American people, who are not salivating for WWIII, needless death and possible mushroom clouds, should vote for candidates who are committed to peace and peacefully protest any new moves towards war by the people who claim to represent us.
