Maybe...
That's an interesting point...
Most of evidence coming out about ISIS suggests that the Saudi's are funding them. The US/UK has certainly de-stablised the region, however.
It's a quagmire of east meets west politics, corruption and propaganda...
Mostly over Oil..
Personally, I think that the US and Uk need to work with other countries in the region (Iran and Jordan, for example) to begin to come to a resolution before it gets far, far worse.
I think so too...
That brings me back to the propaganda and the demonization of countries like Iran by western governments...
