Dear Sir. The IS situation in the middle east is predictable. Sir - The Money men who back our leaders with donations to their political parties, make their money from shares in weapons manufacturers. More war equals more profits from government orders.

The Americans have just agreed to keep 12,000 troops in Afghanistan.

For decades the Warsaw pact was the enemy to justify trillions spent each year on arms. Now we have IS as the enemy for public consumption.

The American Halliburton group supply weapons and munitions to American and allied forces , Their chief executive was US defence secretary Dick Cheney. Halliburton also got Billions to rebuild Iraq and Afghanistan. $50 billion went missing and the Americans didn't even look for it. More war more profits .
