We created Al Qaeda by giving the Pakistani ISI, money and CIA assistance to make trouble for the Soviets. Al Qaeda helped put the Taliban into power, and they in turn protected them from us, giving us an excuse to invade them and occupy Afghanistan. We created ISIS by giving our Saudi and Qatari allies money and CIA assistance to make trouble for Assad.
Giving us an excuse to make Iraq's Maliki step down, and bomb and perhaps invade and occupy Syria. Perhaps, in the process, we will create some other group that will eventually come back to bite us when we give money and CIA assistance to them, but we can always invade and take them out, and so on, keeping the military industrial complex in business. We do nothing alone.
It takes a village.
