That's the problem. Just kill who needs to be killed and leave.

Definitely better. It would probably be better if we hadn't got involved in Lybia or Syria as well.

I'll go one step further though.

Imagine how much better it would be if we never got involved with Iran in the 70s.

This post is very naive.

Islamic terrorism is thousands of years in the making.

They'd be somewhere else. Yemen or Somalia.

That may be the biggest frick up in US history, but to be honest I'm thinking the clown that did this was likely home grown.

But it was against fellow Muslims until the 90s. Now they've spilled out in our world.

Just because Bush was authorized by Congress to invade Iraq, didn't mean he had to do it. It was based on base emotions and likely the worst military blunder in American history.

Nation Building is retarded. It blows my mind we kept spending money and sending our people to die in that God forsaken shite hole.

Imagine how much better of we'd be if the Brits took Constantinople in 1915?

Right. For all of the caterwauling about the US provoking Islamic extremism, we've seen europe - a continent whose bastardized itself in the name of multiculturalism- become inundated with jihais.

Stop genocide? Let it go? Leave a vaccum for another?

We are all infadels. Sooner or later it was going to spread West.

How do you solve that?

Sow the wind, reap the Barry.

Actors have been using religion and sectarian divisions to their own ends for decades and now it's become a monster they can't control.

What are schools teaching you youngsters? Leaving Iraq void of support for political reasons was the real winner. We spent 8yrs trying to understand and avoid tying these heathens to a religion. That worked out well. Oh and we went on an import extravaganza so we could be like Europe. All brilliant actions. Also- lets not forget - Russia is the real bad guy.
