Iraq is currently pretty fucked up as highlighted by your stats there vna...not a nice place to be.

Indeed, and it's 'our' mess.
As is Afghanistan, and Libya, not to mention Syria. 

On top of that our friends in the M.E. are the very people who created, nurtured, promoted and funded the Wahhabism movement around the globe. 

Further, Iran proved, some years ago, to many in the M.E that if you wish to be free of western tyranny then religious fanaticism is one way to go - it worked.  And do please note that, Iran, part of Bush's axis of evil, as far as I can remember has invaded no other country and shows no signs of wishing to do so.

The Turkish attitude/issue towards the Kurds is a major issue, and one reason why IS can possibly access Europe fairly easily.

Of course the Kurds know they are being used by the west.  But what choice have they got, but I rather doubt they see us as friends.  The Peshmerga are reasonably competent at times, but the real hard core fighters are within the KPP, unfortunately the UK and USA have listed them as a terrorist organisation. 

i still stand by our intelligence services being supreme

Full of extremely intelligent people dishing out incredibly dumb advice. 

Our foreign policy over the last few decades - well you'd have to try hard to come up with anything dumber - or more murderous.

And what foccing use anyway is an 'intelligence' service that is prepared to allow lunatic politicians to tell them what to put in their reports!  Doh.
