Fighting terror by supporting terrorists
At the anniversary of the revolution of June 30, Islamists in Egypt promised several terrorist attacks in Egypt. One day earlier they killed Egypt's general attorney and one day after they carried out several attacks in Sinai killing dozens of civilians and soldiers. Several countries condemned the attacks, but it was a silly joke to hear that the US embassy in Cairo has issued a statement condemning the assassination of Egypt's prosecutor-general Hisham Barakat on Monday, describing it as "heinous terrorist attack". "The United States steadfastly stands with Egypt in the fight against terrorism," said the US embassy.
 
It's known that the CIA gave birth to Osama Bin Laden and breastfed his organization during the 1980_s. Former British Foreign Secretary, Robin Cook, told the House of Commons that Al Qaeda was unquestionably a product of Western intelligence agencies. Mr. Cook explained that Al Qaeda, which literally means an abbreviation of “the database” in Arabic, was originally the computer database of the thousands of Islamist extremists, who were trained by the CIA and funded by the Saudis, in order to defeat the Russians in Afghanistan.
 
The same policy was used later with ISIS in the Middle East. ISIS is not merely an instrument of terror used by America to topple the Syrian government; it is also used to put pressure on Iran and all other countries in the region.
 
In 1997, a U.S. Department of Defense report stated that there is a strong correlation between U.S. involvement abroad and supporting terrorism and an increase in terrorist attacks against the U.S. Now, America has to change its policy concerning its “War on Terror”.
 
 Giving terrorists the motivation and the resources to attack other countries leads to attacking America with the same weapons. American Administration should stop fighting terror by supporting terrorists. It's too mean and deadly, even for its own people.
