There have been reports about Saudi Arabia having a part in 9/11, and they're basically an ISIS that made it, yet they're our allies. Israel is continually invading Palestine, yet the US is supporting it. We even have general Patraus wanting to arm al-Queda, the group that attacked us on 9/11. What we do in the middle east is not for the good of humanity. It's for power and resources.
Uh, no. Saudi Arabia is not an Isis that made it. Saudi Arabia regime and the society may be guilty of extreme, anachronistical conservatism. But it is deeply rooted in the culture over which it rules and with which more or less coevolved over centuries.
ISIS is actually a phenomenon born out of extreme opportunism, and uses dragging societies upon which it afflicted itself several centuries back as a tool to rally desperate elements from OUTSIDE those societies.
