Also, there are some sources that say that the Iraq war created ISIS. Perhaps if a more love-based approach was taken after 911 rather than an angry, fear-based, and to some extent power hungry approach, ISIS would not have been created. If a man in Iraq sees his brother get killed he might become angry (just as Americans became angry after 911) and then join a group like ISIS. People do all kinds of foolish things when they are motivated by anger and fear, just as when they listened to the Bush administration's desire to start a war in Iraq. Here is an article where an Army general states that the Iraq war was a mistake and that it created ISIS. My guess is that he isn't a woo woo minded liberal.

"Retired Lt. General Michael Flynn, the former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency who came up through intelligence positions in Iraq and Afghanistan, says that the George W. Bush administration’s Iraq war was a tremendous blunder that helped to create the self-proclaimed Islamic State, or ISIS.
“It was a huge error,” Flynn said about the Iraq war in a detailed interview with German newspaper Der Spiegel published Sunday.
“As brutal as Saddam Hussein was, it was a mistake to just eliminate him,” Flynn went on to say. “The same is true for Moammar Gadhafi and for Libya, which is now a failed state. The historic lesson is that it was a strategic failure to go into Iraq. History will not be and should not be kind with that decision.”
