Do people think that there can't be two bad guys in a story? This isn't a good vs evil fight.

"Good guys" are a myth invented by Hollywood to sell action figures

In some ways, this might reflect the futility of multi party systems. At the end of the day, coalitions of multiple groups are still split into two camps of government and opposition. We have to stop seeing every conflict as us vs them.

This is a war between two terrorist organizations, one of them is funded by the United States.

We are funding terrorism. Your tax dollars are going to infant murder.
