The West is currently allying itself with some of the same terror groups --al Qaeda/al Nursra Front, and ISIS, as it finances, organizes, and trains fundamentalist proxy forces in its illegal war against Syria. The West's cover for invading Syria is, ironically, to wage war on ISIS, even as ISIS forces are comrades-in-arms in the sense that they share a common "enemy", with the U.S: President Bashar Al Assad's secular government.
The solution to the problem of terrorism emerges from a cursory examination of these "spin-free" facts.
If the West really wants to stop terrorism, then it should stop allying itself to terror organizations, and it should stop invading secular countries. That is the simple truth behind the blinding spin.
But the West doesn't really want to stop terrorism.
Those who control the levers of power want to exploit unreasonable fear, they want to keep the public in the dark, and they want to impose police state legislation. They could not advance their destructive agendas if they told the truth.
