For the same reason your younger sibling failed.... we pulled out too early.

Please don't believe that I am thinking that 1945 Germany or Japan are the same as 2015 Iraq/Afghanistan. Quite the contrary. If it takes 100+ years of 'occupation' for a people who wish to support themselves to flourish, it is going to take at least that for a country full of dependent assclowns focusing on Sectarianism. Also, instead of destroying Iraq's will to fight, we destroyed Iraq's despotic government and placed the reigns in the hands of self-aggrandizing, revenge-seeking religious majority.

Why is a private corporation, especially if it is publicly traded, be worse than a nation state or a dictator? because who gets to decide on which democracy is "proper"? so many guys in GD seem to think that democracy is necessarily pro-american. if the regime in saudi were to be replaced with a proper democracy--governed by consent of the governed--the state would be decidedly less pro-american. so what you're suggesting is that a private corporation will come in and rule over the population of a foreign state, such that that state aligns with american interests. that's what "proper" means for many people--agreeable to our wants, not theirs. so "the problem with scotland is that it's full of scots", which is how scotland came to be "colonized by wankers". it's one thing to smack down an aggressive regime, set up a friendly transition administration, and then say "don't make me come back". it's something completely different to smack them down and then colonize them, saying "you're indefinitely prohibited from having any 'democracy' of which we don't approve." and especially when it comes to a private corporation doing this--you're right back to the east india company, whose employees had the power of life and death over colonized populations, without any public accountability. |

What in the world is Christian about doing that? Someone please show me where Jesus or the apostles taught making war on horrible people. They never did. In fact, they taught quite the opposite.
Now, if people want to go make war on ISIS because ISIS is evil, fine--more power to them. Fund and fight to your heart's content, but until someone shows me where the Bible teaches Christians to wage war in the name of Christ, I am happy to point out that this is a decidedly un-Christian thing to do. In fact, if Christians are going to jump on board with this in the name of Christ, then they're going to need to go ahead and concede next time some evangelical anti-theist accuses Christians of practicing a violent religion that teaches killing in the name of Jesus. Christ did not come to erase evil. Christ came to bring forgiveness to those who have practiced evil. That is to say, Christ did not come to kill all those who practice evil. Instead, Christ came to give the gift of eternal life to those evil men who repent and come to Him. Carry on with the sabre-rattling.

To end ISIS you must control both Syria and Iraq. The American people have been against US troops being sent into Syria to gain control of it and then begin nation building as the middle man in a civil war.
Unfortunately, the only viable option politically at this point is to go into Iraq, re-secure it, bolster Iraq forces with a "coalition" headed by the USA, and then use Iraq as a training ground to arm and supply Syrian rebels we want to win who can then fight in our proxy against ISIS in Syria and eventually take it. Pretty simple really and ultimately what is going to have to happen anyways so I don't understand why this Administration is reacting so damn slowly. Clear as crystal to everyone other than Obama. |

In the names of Jesus What this boils down to is zealots who think Jesus was a minor prophet vs. zealots who think Jesus was a god. If they want to kill each other, it's cool with me as long as they buy their own plane tickets and keep it over there. No. What it boils down to is a group of zealots who think they have a god-ordained duty to massacre innocent people because they don't worship at the same mosque, and another group of people willing to put their lives on the line to protect the lives of innocents, including women and children, from said group of zealots since the governments of the world with the capability to do something aren't doing anything, nor will they because there is nothing in it for them. I don't see any atheist groups willing to take a stand. Do you? Atheists are unlikely to be enthusiastic about religious wars. |

Atheists with a life consistent with their worldview are unlikely to be enthusiastic about anything concerning actual morality, nor are they likely to bat an eye when innocent people are being slaughtered. Until, of course, ISIS and their ilk are marching through the streets of New Hampshire dragging atheists out into the streets and beheading them for their difference in belief. But I can't really say anything with authority because Crusades. So glad we can lambast people on the internet for giving a shit though. |

Surely you're not staying here with those of us who have no "actual morality", right? |
