I think America's preferred future place in international relations should be as this almighty Sky God that rains fire on those who goes against its will but never directly imposes itself on the situation.

There are already people in Nevada who come into work, fly a drone in Afghanistan, maybe kill a few Afghans, and then go home, detached from the war.

LOL, awesome, the fact that possibly all of Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Russia are going after ISIS ought to cause people with dumb foreign policy views (including Hillary) some problems.

I'll just chime in and point out that the number of Western hostages the Syrian government has beheaded is still zero.

Those of you who still want another "regime change" are welcome to give one good reason why we should enable the Islamists to seize the other half of Syria.

The Military-Industrial Complex could use another $1 trillion to try to make things even worse.

it's amazing how easily the war machine can be fired up.  every news affiliate is running stories "ISIS recruiting Americans and smuggling across Mexican border?  details at 7"  this after Iraq-2003 became the most unpopular war in the history of post-industrial revolution imperial society.  it helps that it's a Democrat, otherwise liberals would be asking the more uncomfortable questions, while Republicans are only capable of thinking of it as a "bad investment"

It looks like ISIS will be used as an excuse to go after Assad. We'll give arms to some "moderate" Al Qaeda affiliated rebel groups. I'm sure things will go great there.

Indeed, beyond which, this isn't a case like Rwanda where strategically deploying a few troops in select locations would quickly halt (or in this case prevent) genocide.  If we go in, we'll have just deliberately stepped on a bear trap and won't be getting out for quite some time.  Apparently, no one learned anything from Iraq Sad

The thing that has always amazed me is how a lot of people in places like Topeka, Reno, or Panama City think that terrorists are going to attack *their* hometown.  As if Al-Qaeda's top target is Panama City Tongue lol

And there's the killing of Christians by the non Kurdish Syrian rebels. Ironic that I, as a non Christian, have to point this out to the Christians in this country.

It's the fifth war involving Iraq in my lifetime (Iran-Iraq, Gulf War, Operation Desert Fox, Iraq 2003 and this one)

Obama is the 4th consecutive President to bomb Iraq.

He's Hitler ideologically, not strategically.

Dear God, no.  Assad is a bloodthirsty dictator, but such a comparison is as absurd as calling ISIS "Islamofascist". I stated my opinion before; the misuse of certain words should be banned from Earth.

LOL at the idea that both Assad and ISIS are Hitler. Why is Hitler fighting with himself?

None of this would be necessary if certain politicians hadn't lied and voted for the Iraq war.

The Chair of the Senate Intelligence Commission, Bob Graham, said everyone should read the intelligence report before voting. He voted nay. Hillary never read it.
