We have been handed a big old steaming load of horse shit with regards to the history of the Middle East. And every time I see someone repeating these lies, I will correct them. Because, as far as I can see, it's not until people stop believing those lies that there will be anything resembling peace in the Middle East, and by extention, for the US as well. The instigators are the ones who spread those lies as justification for their acts of agression.
