You’ve probably had the gut feeling there’s more than meets the eye regarding the ISIS story. Guest today is Nicolas J. S. Davies who has done significant research and written about the subject in his book, Blood on Our Hands: The American Invasion an Destruction of Iraq. He finds that a significant portion of those drawn to ISIS are Iraqis terrorized by the killing of a million or so Iraqis by thousands of US air strikes. ISIS seems to be the only organized resistance. And a lot of the background goes back to 1919 and is related closely to the dominance of the royals in Saudi Arabia and Qatar and Kuwait. There is another, far more productive way to defeat ISIS, according to Davies. It’s not all that complicated. Listen in for a much needed clarification.
