One simply cannot fight evil with evil. It only multiplies the evil. This has been a mistake the US and other countries has made with their foreign policy throughout all of the 20th century, and we continue it doing, every time thinking it will be different. We use the communists to take down the Russian Royals. Then the nazi's to oppose the communists. Then back to communists to fight the nazis which turned out to be even worse. Then islamists to fight communists again. Then other kind of Islamists to fight the first kind. And now they think they can use the morally depraved and self-obsessed, which in a weird turn of events support the Islamists, to fight... what? Freedom? Christian values? Independent thought? God help us all.
Indeed, only support those who are aligned with your own values. Doing otherwise may work short term but creates bigger issues down the road.
