if isis is such a mortal threat to the united states, why has us military action in iraq and syria been proceeding at such a leisurely pace? is it possible that isis and al-qaeda in syria are being used <u+2014> or even supported <u+2014> by the us and its allies as a <u+201c>regime change<u+201d> weapon against syria<u+2019>s assad government? the us pursued this policy before, when it used saudi-trained radicals to fight a soviet-backed government in afghanistan. those radicals became al-qaeda<u+2026>
