I agreed with this in the past but I was happy to see ISIS driven back from the territories they conquered. I wish we had never gone to war with Iraq and I wish we hadn't cheered during the 'Arab Spring', however that is now in the past. I care about what we do now and whether it can disrupt a violent ideology that is currently rapidly spreading from one person to the next across the world. The less violently it can be disrupted the better.

I'm strongly of the opinion that democracy will never flourish in the Middle East. Any attempts by the US and its allies to impose democratic systems are naïve (although I suspect those at the top are well aware, but just won't admit so).

Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan all need secular dictators who can keep the populations under control.
