Iran

If the logic is that the US assisted ISIS by invading, (and I don't think that's true) then the countries below also deserve blame. Easy to jump on the US for the stupidity of the invasion, and there's plenty of blame to go around.

Quote:

The invasion consisted of 21 days of major combat operations, in which a combined force of troops from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Poland invaded Iraq and deposed the Ba'athist government of Saddam Hussein. The invasion phase consisted primarily of a conventionally fought war which concluded with the capture of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad by American forces.

Four countries participated with troops during the initial invasion phase, which lasted from 19 March to 9 April 2003. These were the United States (148,000), United Kingdom (45,000), Australia (2,000), and Poland (194). 36 other countries were involved in its aftermath.

There was no stupidity from the US powers that be in their invasion. It was long planned and they got exactly what they wanted from it. Money, and fear in the masses to allow them to do what ever they want with complete impunity.

It's pretty goddamned simple if you take some time and do some research.

Your posts have become really repetitive and tiresome. You live in a fantasy world that only you can comprehend. That above quote makes no sense.

Once again you stick to your tired old MO of claiming that whoever questions your dribble must be brainwashed and under the control of Washington. Utter tripe. If you spent just a short amount of time using resources like youtube or twitter you could quickly become familiar with the different groups there. Hell you can hear it in their own words. But you want to push your own fantasy.

Your number one is exactly correct it was the misguided invasion of Iraq that created this whole mess. The arab spring most likely would have never reached Syria if Saddam and the old Iraq were still in place. So in that context the US did create ISIS.

---

A series of events did lead the ISIS creation , but the US didnt act in that way to deliberately create ISIS .
If a person builds a house, they are the creators of that house , the people who knocked down the previous house that was there 13 years ago are not the creators of that new house .

Iran: Dozens Unlawfully Held in City’s Prisons Others Imprisoned on Suspect Charges, Trials August 18, 2014 (Beirut) – Several dozen prisoners in a northern city are serving prison terms for exercising their basic rights, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. Iranian authorities should immediately and unconditionally release all political prisoners, Human Rights Watch said.

Also from HRW: Human Rights in Iran - Executions, especially for drug-related offenses, continued at high rates. The judiciary released some political prisoners, but many civil society activists remained in prison on political charges. Authorities regularly subjected prisoners, especially those convicted on politically motivated charges, to abuse and deprive them of necessary medical treatment. Iranian women continued to face discrimination in many areas including personal status matters. Authorities restricted political participation and employment of minority groups, who account for about 10 percent of the population.


Stellar record. Note that I only used approved leftist sources for references as I know you refuse to accept anything from alternative sources.

Some people feel a rapprochement may be coming between Iran and the P5+1.

"The respective ‘red lines’ are: a) Iran insists on the right to industrial-scale nuclear enrichment and wants sanctions to be lifted and not merely suspended; b) the US wants the ‘breakout time’ (time needed for Iran to develop one nuclear weapon) to be not less than a year and is eager to retain in some measure the leverage of sanctions to ensure Iran’s commitment to any deal.
Besides, new salients have appeared. For sure, the US and Iran are already working together (without acknowledging so) to ease regional tensions in the Middle East, which in turn instills mutual confidence at the negotiating table.

Second, the US’ ‘partners’ within the P5+1 (European allies, Russia and China) are eager to settle the Iran nuclear issue and move on with Iran’s full integration with the international community.

Third, steadily, an Iranian domestic consensus has formed as regards the imperative need to resolve the nuclear issue.


Fourth, there is, possibly, a certain easing of Israeli opposition to an Iran deal (that is, any deal that allows Iran’s enrichment program to continue in any form).

Five, and most important, a breakdown of the talks becomes in reality a ‘non-option’. On the one hand, Europeans and Russia and China have had enough of Iran’s sanctions, while on the other hand, the US (and Israel) simply lacks the capacity to stage a military attack against Iran with impunity.

Finally, at least for the present, the Obama administration is not allowing itself to be held hostage by the US’ Gulf Arab allies – Saudi Arabia, in particular – and has not embarked on a direct confrontation with the Syrian regime (which would upset the apple cart.) See an excellent round-up of the overall state of play by the International Crisis Group’s Iran Senior Analyst Ali Vaez.
Some of this may have begun rubbing on the US Congress, which, according to conventional wisdom, is under the Israeli thumb and/or is itching to somehow deny President Barack Obama a historic foreign-policy legacy"
