" for they have sown the wind and they shall reap the whirlwind "
This sentence above quoted from the Old testament , in which the writer John Keay
Starts his book , about 60 years of conflicts and crises in an area , Politically known the Middle east , where the petrol and politics are two sides of a coin , and the people who have sown the Wind are the British and the French People and later on the USA
Who were colonizing the Middle east area , represented in Iraq , Trans-Jordan , Palestine , Lebanon and Syria to dominate over the land resources and Sea transportation in the Middle east , and later on the Oil wells which was vital to
propelling any waged war , and pushing the economy into thriving .
But the peak of events and the core of all conflict in the Middle east was born in 1917
Balfour statement , which has turned a fulfilled promise in 1948 to create a Country
for the Jews of the world in their historic land , Palestine and call it Israel
from that time till now and the region is Unstable , and that is what the writer has manifested in so many places in the book
and that was the wind that they are still reaping.
Some people , especially western thinkers , thinks that John Keay is coming from the school that says , "It's all our fault" , why not this is absolutely true if they weren't there , nothing from this would have happened , and maybe the world would
be less terrorizing than now .
