There are many debates regarding the origins of ISIS but it's
clear the official narrative is somewhat dubious. The US has worked to destroy
the region stretching from the Levant to the Pamirs. A crisis has been
unleashed and there's a real danger. These conditions may quickly spiral out of
control. The world is teetering toward a dangerous state of instability. Obama
deserves a share of the blame but conservatives are delusional if they think
they can ignore US actions in the region that have overshadowed it for at least
twenty if not thirty years and several presidential administrations. There's a
long story arc at work... but few can stay focused for that long, remember more
than the recent past, let alone put the ideas together into a coherent
framework that helps shed light on what has transpired.
