Blowback For Imperialism

Since 2011, France has been militarily involved in five countries – four of which have a predominantly Muslim population:

• Syria (2015, 87% Muslim)
• Iraq (2014, 99% Muslim)
• Mali (2014, 90% Muslim)
• Central African Republic (2013, 15% Muslim)
• Libya (2011, 97% Muslim)

Do those who mourn the victims in Paris recognize that France is killing people in other countries and that those actions have created enemies? Indeed, France is experiencing payback for it’s military expansionism in largely Muslim countries.

France struck the first blow by dropping bombs in Libya, Mali, Iraq and Syria. The Islamic State didn’t start this fight.

Again, it doesn’t make what the Islamic State did right, but when one country drops bombs in another country they make it more likely that someone is going to attack them in their own country.

This is the argument Dr. Ron Paul made when he ran for President. No one believed it then, and unfortunately no one believes it now.

Damn the torpedos, full speed ahead.
