Why does America always have to act? We should spend our money on ourselves be it infrastructure, science, r&d or education. Let China ride in and do something.
matthew----you are disgusting----it is time for the entire civilized world to act.
We missed the boat too many times-----just in the past 50 years----thruout Africa
and even in asia------genocides in the scores of millions
FYI - We're NOT the world's keeper. We can't be big brother to the entire world. Hey, do you personally have the money to fund whatever support you think they need/deserve? America is BROKE, and in astronomical debt. Wake up and smell the coffee.
24 sorties a day now. on average...............With Precision guided munitions............which aren't cheap already..............
Turkey hitting targets that we are aiding to kill ISIS is a Stab in the back.......
Just because we are doing a few dozen attacks a day doesn't discount we are paying a butt load of money for it.
Not doing anything allows the caliphate to grow..............and become a larger problem. and cost us even more down the road.
The world as a WHOLE should pitch in and deal with it.......Not just us................as you are correct that we are in debt up to our asses............Had it been taken out in it's infancy, then it wouldn't have gotten to the point it is today.................Just as tomorrow the costs to deal with it rise........................................
Do we as a civilized nation stand by and allow the genocide or make a stand to end it................the cost of doing so being high...........The ultimate question is how much will Appeasement cost us down the road...................that being the ultimate question.
Are we in Africa bombing and sending ground troops to take out mass murderers? Is it really our responsibility to protect the known world? Why should we put the world on our shoulders, go bankrupt doing it, and chance ending up in the same boat? Please use common sense. Do we ignore the needs here in the U.S.A., and run around all over the world playing big brother with borrowed money? Please, wake up and smell the coffee. This isn't rocket science.

You are barking up the wrong tree. I've been a part of the world's police force. I don't like it any better than you do.................but understand that we can not sit on the side lines as well..............Do you kill ant beds as they appear...........or wait until they take over the whole yard........................
The WORLD needs to step up here.........Not just us................
Let it continue to grow and the world faces larger problems later.......had we nipped in the butt early on we wouldn't be at this point...............
In Chad..............AFRICA..................The French sent in military to save the country from extremist................pushed them back north into the mountains.
Egypt is hitting the Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS.........
Jordan hitting ISIS.
Saudi Arabia is fighting Iranian rebels, and ISIS there..........
Kenya and others are fighting the Muslims extremist there as well.
and so on..................the whole region is in flames...................and this doesn't bode well for us and the world whether you like it or not.
