How many "groups" and "factions" have WE (U.S.) supported over the years that we cared nothing about but thought they could give us leverage and influence in particular disputed areas. Do the Jihadists in Afghanistan in the 1980's ring any bells? Would al Quaeda even exist if we hadn't funded and armed their fighters in Afghanistan during their fight against the Russians? We didn't CARE about them, we just armed, trained and financed them. Iran is USING Hezbollah and Hamas the same way we used the Jihadists in Afghanistan. I only hope that tactic works out as well for them as it did for us.
