ISIS, Al Qaida, Hamas, all organizations that exist because of the mess made of the Middle East following WWI due to European economic exploitation. The US benefits from it as well. Extracting wealth, which doesn't benefit the people who live there, supporting oppressive dictatorships, continuous destruction and war aimed at protecting economic interests, would we put up with that on our continent?
We have ISIS now because Dick Cheney, and his puppet President W used the excuse of 9-11 to attack Iraq instead of Al Qaida in Afghanistan, and upset the balance of power in the middle east. Saddam was also a creation of US and British manipulation of middle eastern politics, nothing good comes from that, but he had nothing to do with 9-11, and taking him out only upset the balance of power and opened the door for ISIS. Cheney made billions on the deal. So did Bush.
