Dear Editor,
“Religious wars are not caused by the fact that there is more than one religion, but by the spirit of intolerance, the spread of which can only be regarded as the total eclipse of human reason.” Those words of Montesquieu are most apt for the never-ending Middle East turbulence.
And please, don’t blame Donald Trump, but rather former US Presidents Obama, George W. Bush, and Biden, along with the EU and China, who have either paid the heinous Iranian Islamic terrorist regime billions of dollars not to be naughty boys or traded so very extensively with said evil Iranian regime!
Yours,
