ISIS has attacked Iran border guards, and continues to battle Iran’s ally Bashir Assad. ISIS is getting funded by people inside the borders of our “friend and ally” Saudi Arabia. ISIS is the enemy of Hezbollah. When we attack ISIS we once again help Iran and its allies. Complicated isn’t it? Ah, well, Churchill helped Stalin fight Hitler. If Stalin and Churchill could be allies … We want to help the “good guys” but we’re having a hard time finding any in the southwestern Asia. The Kurds, I guess. Jordan, and (comparatively) Turkey and Israel. And some smaller groups here and there. If we could just get ourselves out from between Shiites and the Sunnis! And stop pretending this is ALL ABOUT US. We’re about as welcome there as the police are in the middle of a gang war.
