Is Dubya one of the two political fathers of ISIS/Hamas? (The other being Bin Laden) [View all]

[gulliver]

George W. Bush's Iraq War seems to be easy to forget for some reason. ISIS was spawned in Iraq after Dubya's Iraq War which, as a reminder, was initiated on false pretenses.

Hamas and ISIS are just aliases, in my book, for the same cancer. Without Dubya, perhaps we would still have two weakened regimes, one Sunni (Iraq) and one Shia (Iran), keeping one another in check. One has to wonder whether Uday or Qusay Hussein (curs though they were) might not be keeping Iran's theocrats busy right now, too busy to make trouble and too weak to avoid negotiating regional peace. The whole ME might have played out differently but for Dubya's folly and arrogance.
