Hijo you might find this Wiki article illuminating, I think everyone should read it to get a sense of the reality of U.S. foreign policy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cov…
As far as "evil" goes it's a very subjective thing, everyone is doing good from their own point of view. However I think it's beyond question that U.S. policy played a large part in creating ISIS. Was watching TV just now and they were talking about how much of the ISIS military leadership is due to former generals from the Iraqi military which was disbanded on U.S. orders.
Additionally, the only reason ISIS was able to gain control over such a large part of Syria is because of the civil war and weakening of the central government there, something the U.S. helped fund and support. The CIA is running training bases where they arm and fund Syrian rebels, and whether they were directly trained or not many of those weapons found their way into ISIS hands.
Now everyone is terrified of ISIS but no one want to look at the background and causes of that group.
