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.
So, IF we only do "our" part, the world will be at peace, everything will be lovely, man will live in harmony, and everyone will live happily ever after? Do you have any idea as to what "REALITY" is? Do you honestly believe that "WE" can make everything "right", and that the world will do exactly as we say? And, can you detail your plan to make everything happen as you'd like it to happen? Please, give details on how you believe that the U.S.A. can bring world peace and harmony. I'd love to read your game plan. Thanks.
LOL
The entire region over there is in War whether you like it or not..............and my actions would be brutal, quick, and cost less money over the long run..........
I would carpet bomb North Syria in ISIS controlled areas..........Most of the people there are gone already and living in refugee camps..............These bombs are cheaper than precision guided bombs and elliminate most of the threat................I would not target the Kurds or Syrians........................I would then tell Syria to mop up and deal with what is left of the territory................I would set up an area in Kurd held areas as off limits to the Syrian army.............cross that line and I'll do to you what I just did to ISIS.....................
And end the damned mess there..............It would still be a mess, but it would get rid of most of the Caliphate.............
Hopefully, ended the endless War there..................
Turkey............given their stance on Israel.................Base closure.............we are out of there..................It is a conflict of interest.........
Iran and Nuclear sites....................Take them out and leave..........
Will Peace an Harmony reign after that..............NOPE..............never has been in the middle east and never will be............
I'm just killing ant beds trying to kill off the mounds I find.............They will come back..........as always..........but you can't let them take over the yard unless you are a fool........................
I've served over there.................Had we nipped this shit in the butt in 79............We could have stopped the influence with countries like Iran.
North Korea is because we refused to WIN THE WAR...............and END IT THEN...............Our forces are still there a half a century later to deal with them.................How much has that cost us..................a half a century of having to maintain force levels to deal with North Korea............
How many more men died not finishing Saddam in the first Gulf War...................
And then hauling ass allowing ISIS TO GROW at the end of the last one.............
Our foreign policy sucks................and this whole region sucks.............
Your point.................is WHAT.................PULL OUT............and let them kill each other endlessly and let whatever happens happens...............having to deal at a later date.....................
If they all attacked Israel..............would you stand back and say OH WELL and allow them to completely wiped out...................what say you.
