I disagree with @martens…..(the West is not the source of Islamic Radical Slaughter, it comes from Mohammad’s actions and the teachings in the Koran….and poor Arab governance is maybe #25 on the list of “causes”)-This cartoon exactly depicts the irony of the Saudi spreading Wahabbi mosques and imams around the world to teach radical Jihad, and the consequence of Jihad turning against the Saudis.
@dtrout….rule of thumb for me is, if they are killing innocent people by ambush and assassination, by beheading or crucifixion of burning alive, and if they appear in public In masks to chant praise to “Allah”…..they are the Bad Guys.
Hiram: Jon Stewart summed it up pretty well. Maybe the real answer is we NOT interfere, or try to control all those governments around the world, not just in the Middle East? Are we truly the world’s “policeman”, or deranged nanny from a horror movie? The extreme right is just, well, “Cujo”.
That’s because you don’t bother to educate yourself. In Syria Iran is fighting ISIS/ISIL. In Yemen Iran is funding,training and giving support to the Houthis who are overthrowing the Government there, and in many cases acting just like ISIS.

The Saudis are now bombing “bad guys” in Yemen for us, instead of us doing it. The only question is WHICH batch of “bad guys” they’re bombing.
