      Can the Middle East get better? Of course. If Germany can be part of EEC (pre-EU) 10 years after committing genocide, so can these nations.

      Germany did not emerge alone. It was showered with aid & given a path out. Middle East remains a land for proxy wars—its people disregarded.

      I don't mean to minimize Middle East's problems. (Nope, no). Just maddening to see rest of world still do so much to make it even worse.

      The only consequence to Blair will be an embarrassing press conference. Meanwhile, millions of innocents had their lives destroyed. #Chilcot

      W. Germany was in ECSC *5* years after VE Day. But the occupying-troops-to-civilians ratio was 3x higher than in Iraq. So no chaos.

      @phil_tinline you are right in principle. However, Germany was much more homogeneous than Middle East. Much easier to keep peace

      I'm not arguing that the Middle East is not troubled. It is. It's the lack of recognition that it's people are.. people. That's the problem.

      If you think I'm ranting. You should see what people from the the region say about Blair on social media. Can't reproduce in my PG-13 feed.🙄
