No one in the US has contributed more the rise of ISIS than Democrats.
The current situation in northern Iraq is exactly what was predicted would happen if the US withdrew before the Iraqi government was stable enough. In response, Democrats said that the anti-government AQ forces were "freedom fighters" and said that what happened there was "none of our business."
This is the "peace" Democrats wanted.

Or was funding Saddam for years the wrong path? The current situation is a culmination of (at a minimum) decades of failure by many countries.

While some Democrats do near some responsibility for that as enablers, they weren't the ones directing the relevant policies.
