Hollande on ISIS
The article quotes him thus.
He also said that the international community bore a “heavy responsibility” for what is happening in Syria, with its knock-on effects in Iraq.
“If, two years ago, we had acted to ensure a transition, we wouldn’t have had ISIS,” he said.
“If, one year ago, the major powers had reacted to the use of chemical weapons, we wouldn’t have had this terrible choice between a dictator and a terrorist group,” adding that the rebels “deserve all our support,” he added.
Bosh.
A year ago they should have agreed with Russia to leave Assad alone.
Not as bad as the Khmer Rouge, these guys are pretty awful and their much more expansive ambitions make them more dangerous to their neighbors, to Europe, and (though at quite a remove) to America than the KR ever were.
Organized efforts to cope with ISIS would be welcome, I think.
But no further significant American military involvement should be needed or would be desirable.
Not our turn, this week.
Germany on world-cop duty, maybe?
