Assad is the enemy. Hizbullah is the enemy. ISIS is the enemy. Al Nusra is the enemy. The other rebels groups are our enemy. There are no real friends in the Middle East for the US, simply groups that are less horrible.
I’d say Israel is our friend, but stuff like the USS Liberty incident gives me pause. The Kurds are a better option than many groups, but I wonder how nice they’d be once they get what they want. The Saudis are mercenaries and have their Wahhabism brand of Islam.
We should stay the #*$& out of the Middle East, save our coin and blood, and let them kill each other.
I don’t care for the Kurds. They took weapons away from civilian Christians trying to defend themselves claiming that they, the Kurds, would protect them. Then when the rebels came, they fled and left those defenseless people to die, mostly women and children.
And let me throw this out there and get hammered. Why can’t the Israelis set up some kind of safe zone or take in a few Christians? It’s not like thousands and thousands of Christians died to save them?
But then maybe they do and I just don’t know about it.
