NO,NO,NO
Its our job as world leader to *save* them no matter what the cost or difficulties..
Meaning invading, occupying, rebuilding setting up voting so they can vote in the side that hates us the most, then abandon after ~ decade of that anyway.
Remember the Purple thumbs, Purple middle fingers would have been more appropriate.
Just ask Bush, Cheney, Rummy, McCain, Grahamnesty and Peter King.
Lets trade US blood and $$$ for ruins and anarchy again, yea!
SAVE THE MUZZIES FROM THEMSELVEs!
“SAVE THE MUZZIES FROM THEMSELVEs!”
Some things ain’t worth saving. Not now, not ever.
My position on the Middle East: bring back the Ottoman Empire!
I know this is argumentitive, but I think it’s a concept we need to deal with here.
We talk of allowing the Islamic people take each other out. It’s a concept that works in limited situations like Iran vs Iraq. We helped just enough to help that come to a draw, sapping both nations.
Here were talking about a broader scope. We’re talking about one group ISIS, ISIL, or the Muslem Brotherhood capturing large areas of the Middle-East, then turning those areas into a greater Islamic Republic.
Should we stand by and watch that happen?
Let’s narrow the scope back to just the greater Iraq situation.
Let’s say Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria become one larger player. If that does happen, we’re talking about a rather large region controlled by a very radical group.
Is that something that would be wise to let happen?
Over the follow twenty year, a whole new generation of extremely radical anti-U.S. people would emerge.
Do we just sit back and allow this to take place?
Do we wait until another 09/11 or worse takes place to react?
Watching some folks here, it’s unclear if they think we should react even then. Out come the anti-nation building brigades, the allow Muslims to take each other out brigade, and we’re completely neutered as a nation.
What is the proper role of the United States in these situations? Stay at home and hope?
It seem to me engagement is an option. I’m not convinced it’s the worst one when we’re talking about global players who will come after us, and we damn well know it.
Do we get involved there, or do we simple allow them to hit us on the nose over and over and over and over...
