发帖数: 38600 | 1 How U.S. Interventionists Abetted the Rise of ISIS
Our Middle Eastern policy is unhinged, flailing about to see who to act
against next, with little regard to consequences.
As the murderous, terrorist Islamic State continues to threaten Iraq, the
region and potentially the United States, it is vitally important that we
examine how this problem arose. Any actions we take today must be informed
by what we've already done in the past, and how effective our actions have
been.
Shooting first and asking questions later has never been a good foreign
policy. The past year has been a perfect example.
In September President Obama and many in Washington were eager for a U.S.
intervention in Syria to assist the rebel groups fighting President Bashar
Assad's government. Arguing against military strikes, I wrote that "Bashar
Assad is clearly not an American ally. But does his ouster encourage
stability in the Middle East, or would his ouster actually encourage
instability?"
