ISIS - Genghis Khan - Saladin - Communism

Iran was actively supporting the Shiite movement and the US government liked Saddam Hussein, even after kicking his ass out of Kuwait. By encouraging the rebellion and then allowing it to be crushed, they pushed back Iranian influence, strengthened Saddam Hussein, and had all the justification they'd ever need to implement sanctions and thus further terrorize the Iraqi population. It was never about helping Iraq as a country.

At least that is the only logic I could think of for doing something so intuitively stupid.

Totally agree with that. What atrocity do these guys have to commit to finally draw some reaction? They're running out of new lows.

really anything that spurs a stupid social media idiot marathon will galvanize the youths to stop them.

ISIS could definitely be more hated if they started a twitter campaign.

Maybe ISIS will get so bad that the governments of the ME will finally have to get their shit together and collaborate to solve the problem themselves. If the U.S. isn't going to commit troops (and we know we won't), then who else will step up? Answer: no one.

Maybe dealing with this threat could be the catalyst for that region to join the modern age.

Or not.
