Blame Bush and Blair for a situtation the 'colonial' powers of Britian and France created near a century ago.
Careful, being a bit simplistic there yourself
Much of what France and the UK Governed last century was handed to us after the Ottoman Empire collapsed post WW1 - Yes, we had a hand in the region, but as you correctly pointed out earlier, no one is innocent in not meddling down there.

Yeah well.
Sorry to burst the demagogic bubble that the false narrative of this thread is pushing.
Some people are telling me the US to 'blame' for the ME 'crisis' a country that has been around for a couple of hundred years.
Where as the snip that goes on in the ME has been the, same snip, different day, different year for two millennia.
Sorry but the whole thread is based on the UK prime misters comments. So Im certainly including my own country.
Sorry to burst your little red white and blue bubble but no one saying the USA is solely to blame. What we are saying is everyone has had a hand in the crap throwing in the ME.

How Tony Blair thinks he still has credibility let alone should be listened too has me baffled.. The guy is a disgrace.
