Now I am in the two groups with the largest minorities against this. Democrats and less enthusiastic than Independents or Republicans and people 55 and over are less enthusiastic than various younger groups. But still, what the hell?
.
And we think, somehow, this will be easier than our last wars. WTF?
I seriously do not understand. ISIS is not a group that threatens America. They are ruthless killers that are fighting a Islamic civil war against other types of Islam. They will collapse under their own craziness if we let them.
.
If we are honestly worried about attacks against civilians in our countries, an attack on ISIS will make that more probably, not less.
.
I don't think we should send American soldiers into a civil war where there is no good answer. NONE!
.
For those of you that want ISIS removed, please tell me what you think a reasonable outcome is. Because the only outcomes that are possible are:
.
1) ISIS is destroyed and Syria is safe again for Bashar Al-Assad
.
2) ISIS is destroyed and Iran wields more influence in the region.
.
3) ISIS is NOT destroyed and we look week.
.
4) ISIS is or is not destroyed and tens of thousands of people in the territory are killed, maimed and left homeless.
.
5) ISIS is destroyed and Iraq can turn its weapons on the Kurds.
.
6) ISIS is destroyed, Syria's Al-Assad has a spontaneous heart attack and a new pro-Sunni group takes over. Israel has lost a key (if quiet) peace partner.
.
7) ISIS is destroyed, George Bush(es) are vindicated, lollipops fall from the sky and unicorns shit rainbows.
