So you're essentially declaring:

ISIS arose in Syria, not Iraq. Assad probably had the strongest hold on his country of all the dictatorships.
Hussein would be 77 years old if were still alive. Combine that with decades of Saudi, Iranian, and Qatari being poured into fundamentalist groups, and you have a strong argument that what's going on now was the inevitable.
I never supported the invasion of Iraq, but you cannot put all of the current chaos at it's feet.
