To understand ISIS it is essential to know that they are part of the Sunni Wahabi movement. The most well known regime under control of the Wahabis is Saudi Arabia. The Wahabis won power in 1923 under Ibn Saud defeating the Rashids who remain powerful in the eastern province (where the oil is ). It is not for nothing that the flag of Saudi is two crossed swords. |

I have been following the response of western politicians to events in Iraq as I remember when Blair took us to war in Iraq, it was based on the so called "dodgy dossier on weapons of mass destruction" that were a threat to the UK. |
