...and anti-US over-involvement in unsolvable middle east predicaments. That's a lot of things to be against, and it makes it pretty hard to sort out what I think about the whole situation without getting a headache.

I don't have any superior source of personal information, but the BBC and, lately, the NYT have generally good information. One thing I am for is regional secular governments cooperating to solve all of the things I am against, and the recent responses by Egypt and the Libyan government against ISIS are good news. Jordan and the UAE stepping up is good as well. Hopefully it will improve things.
