Yesterday, President Obama claimed that the rise in ISIS was an unexpected outcome of the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
This seems to me to be a reasonable analysis. The power vacuum in Iraq is being filled by ISIS whether we like it or not. Similarly, the power vacuum in Syria is being filled by ISIS and the same can be said for Libya.
The time has come for a change in policy by the West, it seems that everything we touch in the Middle East and North Africa leads to disintegration. Our politicians have not learnt from history and we are faced with endless wars. Who knows which country will be affected next - Egypt ?
The west should allow the United Nations to broker solutions based on the needs of the countries which are in conflict rather than colonial dominance.
