From your most reliable news source, Iran might deploy the Qud's force to fight ISIS in Iraq
Yeah, when CNN showed that in the headline bar, I was like 'Which side???'. Kind of ironic that Iran is fighting against terrorists because they
support two other terrorist groups. Though I suppose that would be equating to the US supporting two rebel groups and fighting against a third.
The middle east is really going to hell in a handbasket isn't it? And I use that metaphorically, not that all of the middle east is going to hell, know what I'm trying to say?
Islam really could use a second reformation or something, but then again, if the
Catholic Protestant Christian reformation tore Europe up as much as it did, an Islamic reformation could end up being just as bad, or even worse.
As for the US intervening, well, it's an incredibly complex situation and is also one of our own making. It's like a 3D chessboard or even the butterfly paradox, something you do, or even don't do as a superpower has some major effect later on.
Since the US populace is tired of the war and doesn't want to have boots on the ground again, maybe we could just support with airstrikes (which we are REALLY good at), while the Iranian troops have boots on the ground. Then again, cooperating with Iran has it's own political baggage.
As I said, complex as hell. As someone said, ISIS came out of Syria, which we really didn't want to get involved in, and now, a group which we ignored is forcing us to not ignore it.
Also, Iran helping Iraq will definetly help repair relations between the two countries in the future.
BTW, I'm sure you guys know of it, ISIS is so extreme that even Al-Quaeda has disowned the group.
Edit: Okay, Obama said no boots on the ground. So, coordinated airstrikes?
