To explain this better, you see the West by the wish of the Europeans and the support of America the forever benevolent friend, had by the mid 20th century put in powers big dictators in the Middle East and Africa, however secular they were in order to clamp down on their own citizen’s will for freedom. All in exchange for absolute military and political support, safeguarding their dictatorial rules. You may ask why? Well a free people with free wills would not stand for the deals the West was making in their oil wealth. A free people of the middle east meant death of oil cartel and the West’s hegemony in the oil rich region. So they gave all the support to these dictators for so long until when their people decided they won’t stand. At this point once again the West (mainly Europe again with their colonial baggage) and the oil cartel decided that a free people is still detriment to their vast interests, so it is better to pop up Islamic regimes instead of the old dictatorial rules, this way using Islam and Islamic rule will deter people from any real democracy or freedom. They will lose the dictator and gain a cleric. This is exactly what was envisioned in Egypt,in Iran of 1979, in Libya, and Lebanon all secular regimes at one time. Once these people rose up for their own freedom, the West rolled up their sleeves quickly, really quickly demanding the departure of their dictators Mubarak and Ghadaffi (and of course the Shah some 33 years ago) while making sure the FREE people do not take control of their oil fields. This has been the game of the past 1 century. And that is why when the Iranian people and when the Syrian people, 2 of the most secular and educated people of the middle east rose up to fight their Islamic rule (of course Syria’s Assad is not a cleric and his rule not Islamic but nonetheless the biggest puppet of the Islamic regime of Iran and does what he is told)the West stays SILENT. The West has kept SILENT towards Islamic regime for the past 33 years. Why? Because the oil cartel says so. Islamic Regime can defecate onto the faces of the UN, the whole world, and still the West specially Europe kneels down and bows to them, they bark but not bite, they keep showing their “concerns” but it is all a game, and yes we still will have Hillary saying we do not want a regime change but we do want a change of behavior, or even may be possibly wishing for another terrorist but a smiling terrorist to replace that ugly Ahmadinejad one. The same scenario in Syria. The West is silent when it comes to Syria and their people quest for ousting Assad and his puppet rule. The West was definitely silent when it came to Iranians when they rose up bravely to fight the barbarians. They never asked the terrorist regime to step down or even any mention of regime change.

So what to do?
To get peace once and for all this is what needs to be done: Islamic regime in Iran must be toppled in its totality, Europe has to understand that it must pay a fair price for oil and stop playing the evil game they’ve been plying for decades in the middle east and we as people should decrease the consumption of oil in our lives. Europe should change its ways of running their economy so that they do not depend so much on oil from middle east and Africa. Instead of having nanny states which they have now, they should open up their economies so that their citizens get off their lazy couch and start working and pump their economies so much so that they can afford the price of oil from middle east and that is the middle east run by free people with true democratic institutions. No more dictators, no more Islamic regimes, no more clerics and no more ayatollahs. Let the region flourish and peace and security rule.
Peace!
