Does this make it right?

Not in my opinion.
I don't think so. It's desert pragmatism; switching sides as it suits them. You don't have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
And by "them" I mean our new found Sunni allies switching sides. We have always been the good guys.
IMO, there are no "good guy" nor no "bad guys." It's individuals and organizations pursuing their own self-interest. And for the US, that means playing both sides of the same coin, and playing groups off of one another.
