'Five years after Bataclan slaughter in Paris, France has
done little to combat Islamist terrorism. More atrocities are inevitable'
And what about the slaughters, ten-thousand times greater,
in Libya, in Iraq, in Yemen, in Syria, and in other places of the Middle East?
The bloody killing at Bataclanke was a direct response to France’s years of state terror in the Middle East, a response from the relatively weak and powerless seeking revenge for the destruction of friends and families and homelands.
France has ruthlessly supported America’s bloody crusade across the Middle East.
Libya, once the best-run country on the continent of Africa, remains a chaos. France was a leader in achieving that, Gadhafi had supplied his people with free education, healthcare, clean water, and peace. His country was heavily bombed, and he was brutally murdered.
America and Britain killed a million people in Iraq, and, almost twenty years later, a once-advanced country still doesn’t even have its full power grid operating.
America and its allies – France, Britain, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Turkey – have helped kill about 6oo,ooo people in Syria, destroying much of a beautiful and historic land. They’ve bombed and supported mercenaries pretending to be jihadis in a terrible hybrid war.
If anyone cares about peace and the sanctity of life, they will not focus on an ugly incident of revenge. They will focus on its far more important and terrible cause.
