As far as I can gather, the situation over there is more tangled up than a can of worms.  It's really hard to tell who the "bad guys" are, as they all seem to take turns being the evil ones.

for a while I thought it was as simple as "al qaeda became Isis" but there really is a lot more to it. Factions of "bad" guys are fighting factions of "good" guys. Next week, they're allied and what we classified as good is now bad.

honestly, ill celebrate the day we get out of the me and just provide a safe place for people looking to escape dictatorships and extremists
