You Don't Have To Hate Other Groups To Love Your Own, Researcher Says

researchnews.osu.edu — Shiite vs. Sunni. Red state vs. Blue state. Immigrant vs. native. While it may appear that conflict is an inevitable part of interaction between groups, research actually suggests that fighting, hating and contempt between groups is not a necessary part of human nature, according to an Ohio State University professor of psychology.

    Instability and Civil War in Iraq is an Anglo-American Objective

    Day-by-day it is becoming more and more evident that the Anglo-American alliance, with the assistance of Saudi Arabia and Israel, has been orchestrating ethnic, sectarian, and religious conflict in Iraq. It has universally been proclaimed as such by Kurd, Arab, Assyrian, and Turcoman alike in Iraq. Christians, Shiite Muslims, Sunni Muslims, Yazdis, and Mandaeans in Iraq are all under attack by secretive units, including the Coalition-controlled forces of the Interior Ministry of Iraq.

    It is evident that stability is unwanted in Iraq. This has been the objective all along in Iraq. Only the stability of oil infrastructure matters to the Anglo-American alliance. Instability allows the U.S. and Britain to craft their excuses for their long-term deployments in Iraq and to plunder Iraqi energy resources.

    For the most part, the truth of the matter is that the U.S. and Britain are deliberately fashioning a state of chaos in Iraq and turning brother and sister against brother and sister. Part of the Anglo-American objective is to divide Iraq and to arm Shiite Muslims and Sunni Muslims against one another and to disrupt all social order. [113] The U.S. and Britain have also desperately tried to portray Sunni Muslim groups as being behind the murder of leaders within the Sadrist Movement in Iraq. [114] This is rejected by the Sadrists, who are Shiite Muslims. They know the strategy the U.S. and Britain are playing by trying to blame Shiite Muslims for the murders of Sunni Muslim and by blaming Sunni Muslims for the death of Shiite Muslims.
