Third Baghdad bombing. We must bury this violence as we buried the Battle of Somme—a distant, unrepeatable horror.https://twitter.com/nytimesworld/status/749618623866626048 …

ISIS is horrible and vicious. Any discussion of how they came to be that's not rooted in events in MENA in past 50 years is.. defective.

You can't discuss pre-2001 Taliban without understanding the Soviet war, occupation, US-Saudi counter jihad & the refugee camps in Pakistan.

ISIS is also not outside of history. Decades of war, brutal regimes, occupations, mass displacement produce.. horror. Khmer Rouge. DRC, etc.
