I just read an article at ThinkProgress.org and it's incredible. The number of militant organizations with interests at war in the Middle East is insane. The recent upsurge of jihadist militancy in Iraq and bordering Syria should be terrifying to everyone. If they can empty banks and use the money to buy more weaponry and if they can chase off the (U.S.-trained) Iraqi army and take all the weaponry we sold/gave them they will use it against somebody to advance their cause.
We may continue for a while trying to oppose Assad in Syria, but in a lot of ways this mess looks like a plate of spaghetti topped with blood. We should be extremely cautious with our involvement and hold back as much as possible.
