And Barney just contrast American involvement in sub-Sahara Africa with our obsession with the Middle East.

I have a feeling if ISIS becomes such a threat that Iraq goes the way of Somalia and another huge base of terrorism develops events may have to force our hands whether we want to or not. It may come down to letting Iran control (or save) Iraq as the lesser of two evils. And assuming Iraqis are happy with Iranian intervention in general is naive, but in the current situation it may be necessary.

Saudi Arabia (along with Kuwait and Qatar) is funding ISIS in its proxy battle with Iran and its Shia friends (Syria's Assad and Al Maliki).
