"he West's unquenchable thirst for oil led to our backing despots like Assad's State terrorist regime, which in turn, led to the rise is Isis, the greatest 'refugee maker in the modern world.
We are part of the refugee crises right up to our predatory necks"

The proven oil reserves of DSyria rank about 33rd in the world, lagging behind the UK vastly depleted reserves. Hardly a prize.
You have a very perverted view of the world if you think Assad created Isis.
Isis existed in Iraq some years before being moved into Syria to destabilize the country.
It is interesting the remaining US presence in Syria is around Seir y Zor, the hub of the countries oil industry.
    If you insist on blaming someone for the refugee crisis you need look no further than US foreign policy(meddling)

I assume to show solidarity with refugees you will no longer use oil energised transport, or food imported from foreign climes? or any items made of plastic? Should you not then you surely are a part of the problem?
