The United States has done its part, these past 12 years, at ensuring we arrive at this point.
- The birth of ISIS was the inevitable result of Bush's Iraq war.
- The collapse of Syria was preventable if Obama wasn't more interested in destabilizing it and arming terrorist groups.
How do we proceed, do we ignore our own creation, do we tell the Middle East to solve its own problems? Maybe that's why we're backing Iran in an economic and nuclear deal. Establish a strong rival to ISIS and let the cards fall where they may.
Though, am I the only one concerned that WMD enabled terrorists do not stay trapped in their hellhole, and that they find passage through our open border?
Also... I'm sure the United States would be among the first to decry the atrocities required to subdue ISIS and restore peace to the region. Many people are going to die, and I have little doubt we'll actively oppose the necessary actions undertaken by local governments. Such as our condemnation of Syria's Assad, America seems more interested in keeping the conflict active and the terrorists armed than putting an end to all this.
Just whose side are we on anyway?
