Americans have no knowledge of any issues

A bit harsh, they know a lot about football, baseball and NASCAR.

Hell no, give the Kurds,  Iraqis, Turks, Jordanians, Iranians, Bahranians and other forces the money to do it themselves...we've been doing this "Police the World" BS for far too long.


The ISIS threat would be a good case for providing the UN with an actual army (financed by a Tobintax or something similar) instead of relying on member states.

I would let a million Iraqi and Syrian women and children be raped, tortured and burned alive before I consented to a single drop of American blood being shed there.

Whether this is a necessary or just war is beside the point.

America cannot fight a necessary, just war today because America chose to fight an unnecessary, unjust war twelve years ago. I lay that at the feet of the failed foreign policy of George W. Bush and those elements of the Republican Party that still believe in neoconservative nonsense.

The 57% who support such a thing can go over there and take a stab at it themselves, as far as I'm concerned.

And if I have to listen to that senile old fart John McCain whine anymore about how we need to help his neo-Nazi fascist friends in Ukraine take over the country, I'm going to vomit.

The first part is extremely cynical in light of what is happening and the second is an outright lie. The Ukrainian government is not fascist or neo-Nazi.

Real people are getting killed, raped and mutilated. I understand your point, but why do you have to be such an asshole about this?
