It's of course the cynical approach, but what isn't cynical under these circumstances. Without the removal of Saddam, the help in removing Gaddaffi and the weakening of Assad, there would be no ISIS, period. They were lids on the boiling kettles.
Analysis oversimplified. ISIS might have emerged regardless. All it often takes is perception of oppression (and over years and decades) to produce and fuel something like ISIS. Anyway, seems more like ISIS is an extension of prior terrorist groups, but with better technology use than before.
As for the names you mentioned, I don't see them any better than ISIS ...
This goes for Erdogan and the American leaders as well.
