AnninGlos......it is. far too late for me to take all your thread in just now
At present it's still as clear as mud, perhaps tomorrow it will make more sense????

Thanks for the explanation anyway..... I agree with others.... you should be a politician!

Not my personal writing, I got it from facebook and thought it was apt.

Well said, Ann.

My OH says you should publish it so that the politicians can read it. A letter to the national press, perhaps?

AnninGlos - are you a politician? Well, you should be. ;-)

Basically, there won’t be a peace agreement until each understands what the other is complaining about.

What we need from the leaders are better answers - not excuses.

I think you have explained that rather well.

Sort of :-S

Its almost as confusing as the reasons behind WW1. The Assasination of Archduke Ferdinand was only the trigger.

Clear as mud

Are you confused by what is going on in the Middle East ?

Let me explain….. We support the Iraqi government in the fight against Islamic State. We don’t like IS, but IS is supported by Saudi Arabia, whom we do like. We don’t like President Assad in Syria. We support the fight against him, but not IS, which is also fighting against him. We don’t like Iran, but Iran supports the Iraqi government against IS. So, some of our friends support our enemies and some of our enemies are our friends, and some of our enemies are fighting against our other enemies, whom we want to lose, but we don’t want our enemies who are fighting our enemies to win. If the people we want to defeat are defeated, they might be replaced by people we like even less. And all this was started by us invading a country to drive out terrorists who weren’t actually there until we went in to drive them out.

Do you understand now?
