It seems that Iraqis are helping those people trapped on the mountain.

It's about time!

Of course, those people are most closely aligned with the muslim sect now in power....

It cannot be stood by and allowed
Syria, Hezbollah, and Iran? Mind if they help?

Looks like the US and the Brits. That is probably suiting as it is the US and the Brits who created the mess over there that is working itself out. It is still pretty sad, though, that even the Arabs in the region won't help any but their own sect of Islam. What a bunch of human garbage they all are! Why did Bush think we could do any good there?

If doing something about it doesn't advance their political agenda, they won't do anything.

It seems that these days, Hobby Lobby not paying for specific abortive drugs is more evil than ISIS in Iraq.

Perhaps the question is, why are people's moral compasses unable to find a direction with any consistency?

Agree, people tend to think all Islamist groups are supported by Saudi Arabia and Gulf states.

People tend to not have a clue about Islamist groups, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States and what is going on. Those who do know (and I mean Governments and Leadership) don't really want to say - I can't say that I blame them. There is a lot of stuff going on under the radar. A real buggy is "exactly who is ISIL/ISIS/IS and why are they targeting the areas they target. Why did they stop on the way to Damascus and begin to attack Sunni Villages? Why did they stop 90 miles outside of Baghdad and turn and attack Sunni's, Kurds and Christians?

A lot is not known and the worst of it (from a USA standpoint) is that our own Intelligence Community were once again ...... "surprised". They had no clue and really, they still don't.
