Spanish propaganda poster in support of Syria's Kurdish resistance reads: "United Against the Dictatorship." Now that ISIS has forced Obama's hand by threatening the entire region, the White House will have to decide whether to throw in its lot with the Syrian revolution or the Bashar Assad dictatorship.
