At what point would you, in your causal link of explanations,

shift from the catalyst of the Americans having done something that allowed ISIS to flourish to then saying, starting at time T, my causal weaponry is going to be targeting ISIS moving forward.

Right.

But... So think about all of the people that have suffered horrifyingly as a result of ISIS.

If you are a...

individual that's walking around who is the recipient of that brutality.

What would make more sense if you're engaging in statistical inferencing?

Would it be to say, you know, the guy that's about to string me up because I looked at a girl wrong and he's going to cut off my penis and my arms because I touched a girl.

I really can't blame ISIS because really it's American foreign policy that intervened in Iraq.

That's not how people navigate through their – How did you get to that?

How did you get there?

You know how under Sharia law there are very strict rules about – that govern the dynamics between men and women, right?

Yeah.

So I was just being hyperbolic, but let's say whatever the punishment, you stole a loaf of bread under Sharia law, we cut off your hand, right?

So let's say you're a 12 year old kid who just stole a loaf of bread from the souk and the ISIS commanders have caught you and they're about to institute Sharia law by cutting off your hand because you're a thief.

Would it be natural for you or your parents, the parents of the 12-year-old who are crying because they're about to see the hand of their child cut off, would they say, I really can't be upset at ISIS and their brutality because ultimately ISIS only came in because of the geopolitical intervention of the United States.

Do you think that that would be a reasonable?

But that's it.

Full stop.

But nothing can happen.
