Tony Abbott's government has sent the Australian Air Force to join the USA in bombing Islamic State (IS) targets in northern Iraq and Syria, and Australian troops to "train" Iraqi army personnel for ground combat. Abbott has justified the war by pointing to the ruthless violence of IS. But its rise is a direct product of the decade of war and occupation of Iraq by the USA, carried out with Australian support.
