Isis- in the news. When The US and Israel and France were making use of distraction politics and power plays in the mideast by funding rebels to take on Syria. a third non-puppet entity was being formed, ISIS as it is called today. They are opportunists who made good on their goals as the US and France funneled in weapons and supplies for use against Syria. Saudi Arabia contributed the nerve gas.
But the "good rebels" were swept aside by Syria and ISIS leaving the US working with Iran to bolster Iraq as ISIS gained control over a region they are carving out.
The US really does not care what happens, other than as a means for profit and of course, a way to distract the world from the horrors Israel is inflicting on Gaza. So we get inflammatory headlines and we stop looking for articles on Israel and Palestine.
War is always horrible. There is never a good war. War is about atrocities. When we went after Hussein in Iraq, we upset a balance. When we went after Gadolphi in Libya, we upset another balance. When we went after the Taliban, we upset another balance. We created wars and suffering. The body counts from our interventions are greater than if we had never acted. But we are not after peace, we want money and opportunities for profit. Good money is made in the industrial arms arena. US tax payers have to be spun headlines so that they don't object to coughing up tax dollars. That is what attacking Isis is all about.
Remember "Evil Red China" - now our source of capitalist goods!
Our foolish non caring politicians are haggling over who has the nicest sneakers- GOP or Dems when it comes to ISIS. Meanwhile Israel and their atrocities in Palestine fade from view.
