The world seems to be running on lies. Lie no. 1 - A Palestinian state. There has never been a state or a country called Palestine. It was always a part of Jordan and has been ruled by outsiders such as the Syrians, Ottomans or the British. Lie no. 2 - Somali pirates are have a very good supply of sophisticated weapons. Somalia is a failed state incapable of manufacturing a drawing pin let alone AK47s or RPGs. These weapons are manufactured by billion dollar arms manufacturing companies in the US, UK, China, Russia and other European countries and finding their way into the hands of terrorists everywhere. Thus to control terrorism, piracy and drug wars all we need to do is to look at what the arms companies are doing and control where they supply weapons. Unfortunately governments will do nothing to control their arms companies and will keep lying and people will keep dying. Lie no 3 - Tutsis are victims of the Hutus. The truth is that Hutus are the majority and have been a peaceful agricultural people. Belgium, the colonial power, armed the minority Tutsis and created an army to control the majority Hutus. Thus the Tutsis have been oppressing the Hutus for decades. Even now the Tutsis are fighting and killing thousands in the Congo. Until the politicians and journalists start telling the truththere will never be any end to conflicts.
