[quote]The full horror of the jihadists’ savage victories in Iraq emerged yesterday as witnesses told of streets lined with decapitated soldiers and policemen.
Blood-soaked bodies and blazing vehicles were left in the wake of the Al Qaeda-inspired ISIS fanatics as they pushed the frontline towards Baghdad.
They boasted about their triumphs in a propaganda video depicting appalling scenes including a businessman being dragged from his car and executed at the roadside with a pistol to the back of his head.[/quote]
So, let it burn or do we have an obligation to help?

In my opinion, Iraq needs to meet specific criteria before we can provide assistance, or at the very least start working toward those goals after we provide support. Specifically the formation of a national unity government and if possible a loosening of ties with Iran. Nouri al-Maliki's government basically brought this upon themselves though by excluding and isolating groups.
