The coalition against ISIS keeps growing…..and many people that I have talked with because they know that I watch and write about the Middle East ask me the same question….almost daily.
Why has the Arab countries not stepped up?
An excellent question that would take me an entire book to explain accurately……that is why when I saw this piece while reading the news I found an easier way of answering the question without giving myself a migraine….
Arab countries claiming their opposition against the Islamic State have stood down in their battle against the self-proclaimed “Caliph Ibrahim,” creating a political void in the coalition.

The sectarian divide will have to come to a head if this situation will ever be resolved……
Why has the Arab countries not stepped up?
Brothers are not supposed to do battle with one another.
I would agree but it does not apply….look at Yemen….the Saudis are busy killing whoever gets in the way…..you could say that they are at war with Iran but civilians are dying on all sides because of the war….so that may sound like a good reason but it is not….
alrighty then — thank you.
