When you say "haven't done much to hurt US interests" does arming Iraqi insurgents with Iranian made weapons that killed many coalition soldiers, and further destabilized Iraq causing who knows how many innocent deaths, not count? And why would the US get more blame than the USSR or France and Germany? The USSR sent soldiers and pilots to fight for Saddam.

Why did the US continue to support ISIS even after it was clear they were becoming a serious threat in the region? http://youtu.be/ccdeANvo2bg http://youtu.be/ccdeANvo2bg Why did Turkey continue to buy oil from ISIS even after ISIS started executing innocent people? http://uk.businessinsider.com/links-between-turkey-and-isis-are-now-undeniable-2015-7?r=US&IR=T http://uk.businessinsider.com/links-between-turkey-and-isis-... The point is, the whole thing is a mess, and not one of the main countries involved is free from blame. The most messed up thing from a political point of view is that Turkey are a member of NATO, in other words we're fighting a group that's funded by allies of US and Europe. Throw Russia in the mix with its support of Assad and we really could be looking at the start of World War 3. Of course I hope it doesn't come to that, but it does seem plausible. > "The USSR sent soldiers and pilots to fight for Saddam." Are you referring to the Gulf War (1990) or the Iraq War (2003)?
