Well, sorry to be a stick in the mud, but when it comes to folks beheading people or nuking people... I'll worry about the ones with the nukes.
Saudi Arabia and Israel both have nukes. Don't let SA lie to you that they don't. They do. Israel is aligned with Saudi and therefore Wahhabi interests. Pakistan also has nukes and is aligned with Saudi interests.
Iran is the nation that could actually correct the problems in the Middle East if we overhauled our strategic interests and aligned ourselves with them. The ME would be under complete control very quickly if we did. We are fools to fight the Houthis in Yemen or the nation of Iran. They and the Kurds are the only nations in the region who could truly help us destroy the Taliban, ISIS/L, and Al Queda.
Oh, not the ONLY I suppose. We should also work more closely with India on making China and Pakistan desolate wastelands. They'd also devote far more troops to fighting ISIS if we promised them Kashmir. Also, more nukes on our side.
