Actually ISIS traces farther back.... To Libya. Remember Libya? We turned it into an ashtray. A failed state like Somalia...
"failed state"? NOW it's a failed state. Before the West turned it into an ashtray it was where African emmigrants to Europe usually stopped, got work and settled down, making Libya one of the most prosperous and stable African nations for many years. See also da Wiki: "From 1977 onward, per capita income in the country rose to more than US $11,000, the fifth-highest in Africa,[59] while the Human Development Index became the highest in Africa and greater than that of Saudi Arabia.[60] This was achieved without borrowing any foreign loans, keeping Libya debt-free.[61]"

The great quote from the top of that page: "The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion, but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact, non-Westerners never do.”" ~~~~ Samuel P. Huntington Certainly that "financially independent, no foreign debt" was a standout for Libya under Qaddafi, backed by his building a solid gold bullion store for the country (nearly 150 tonnes). Western meddling in foreign nations is disheartening and fundamentally abominable.
