The Saudis and Qataris funding ISIS are doing so out of fear of Iran and they will probably redouble their aid to ISIS.

That is a deal with the devil out of fear of Iran, a devil that may end up consuming the monarchies in those countries.

The world would be better off if we had backed a Sunni general from the former Republican Guard. They knew how to keep Iraq peaceful and stable.
