Bomb a people back into the stone-age under the guise of "humanitarian intervention" and then denounce them as evil terrorists when the perpetrators of the evil are our own politicians and those who profit from these wars.
The danger of World War Three is staring us in the face and every bullet shot along with every bomb dropped takes us closer to nuclear annihilation.
George McGovern, predicted that all of this would happen as soon as George Bush and Dick Cheney launched the war on Iraq but it was impossible to predict the depths and magnitude of the barbarism that would be spawned.
Anyone who thinks that more bombing, more killing and more war will keep us protected and free from terrorism is a complete idiot and fool who has fallen for all the lies, jingoism and great power chauvinism being spun by Wall Street's over-paid degenerate pundits posing as "experts on terrorism."
History of the world is defined by the wars. Why should now be any different? If non-state actors (aka terrorists) wanna fight, give em a fight. For too long the world's powers have been dictated to by small bands of terrorists when they could, any single one of them, obliterate such groups over a weekend. Either we're to be the ones in charge, or they are. If us, we need to remind these upstarts and amateurs who they're ******* with. And that no city, no cave in the mountains, or any place else is safe.
If Raqqa is an ISIS-controlled city, nuke Raqqa. I don't regard civilians as necessarily no-kill if all the ones who didn't like ISIS became refugees and the only ones remaining must be the pro-ISIS ones. The terrorists are "civilians" too remember. A joint US-Russia nuclear strike would send a clear message to the world's terror groups. Mess with either of us or our allies and you're gonna die.
