The Russians are the source of everything unfortunately...
Reader comment on item: Newt Gingrich and the "Invented" Palestinian People
Submitted by sara (United States), Dec 11, 2011 at 17:21
It is depressing to realize that Russia's actions have had such deep and disastrous consequences over the decades, all in the name of competing in the chess game against the US.
From entering Afghanistan to expand their influence in the region (and thus starting the Mujahedeen concept), to creating the Palestinians and grooming Arafat as the leader to offset U.S. alliance with Israel, to the socialist and communist ideologies... it is mind boggling to think how much damage they have done.
