Middle East Policy?

It's about time we seriously had a rethink on Middle Eastern policy.
General Sir Richard Dannet Retd Yesterday spouts that we should start talks with Assad and Syria! The same Syria that last year the Government wanted to overthrow to help the poor oppressed freedom fighters! Who overnight have become our worst enemy and darkest threat. We should be helping and encouraging Saudi Arabia, Quatar, et al to police their own region.
Fast forward two years (I'm being generous) and IS will have control in Afghanistan, all the Trillions of dolllars wasted and sad, sad loss of lives will have been for nothing.
Isn't it about time we left them to it?
