The U.S. And Russia are doing the same thing. There are other countries in the region chipping in to support whatever side of the sectarian schism they fall on. Plus there are guys like Saddam, Ghaddafi, and Assaud trying to retain power. Guys like al Maliki who were supposed to help stabilize Iraq, but exacerbated the problem. It's like putting Barry Bonds on "the clear" and "the cream." It's PEDs for terrorism. The U.S. involvement is just one piece in the puzzle. It's like all the countries got together and decided to build Frankenstein's monster and they all supplied a body part.That's just nuts.
I'll give you two tidbits which will tell you how F'ed up the situation is.
1). Back when al Zarkawi was still alive Bin Laden was worried his methods were too violent. In other words, al Qaeda thought they were worse than al Qaeda. They have only gotten worse.
2). The U.S. and Iran are cooperating with each other in a sectarian civil war which means the side were fighting is so bad we decided to kiss and make up with the Ayatollah Khomeini side.
That's how F'ed up it is.
Quite a complex situation.
