Is that because we keep abandoning what we call “dictators” for political correctness reasons and for not understanding their role in their corner of the world thereby shooting ourselves in the proverbial foot?
Taking a look at ISIS or ISIL, keep in mind that these are the guys Saddam, Assad and Mubarak used to throw from roofs and towers… So, when a poisonous snake is eating another one, the USA should not interfere… it is not a bad thing.
