the only area you and i differ on is the hornet's nest was there before we got there and way before iraq. it doesn't matter what they call themselves, isis, alqaida JTF. whatever.
and yes, USA did kick that hornet's nest know as the middle east but that has no bearing on arabs murdering arabs for 1000s of years. heck the dude behind isis started his group to kill arabs in jordan, "kill all shiittes" was his motto that even made bin laden nervous. that very same group now wants to kill everyone. everyone. not just shiites, not just jordanians, not just Americans, not just Europeans, not just japanese. everyone. that is not because of the USA.
sure, the ME would be a different place if we didn't have interests there that led to poor decisions to invade, i don't know if it would be better though. better for who? USA oil corps? dictators?
