Fancy, whether we belonged there in the first place or not isn't even in question. The vast majority of Americans now understand we had no business going in there in the first place but it is done. Not much we can do about that now. I seriously do not think we can afford to let ISIS, which is worse than what we were fighting before imo, take over that part of the World because it isn't just that part they are after. With so called American citizens willing to go fight in that battle WITH them we face a much worse problem. We have lost a sense of patriotism and we are so divided now that we cannot even discuss issues that are happening in our own homeland but we most certainly don't need the outside influence of the likes of ISIS to move in. We really are having to fight over there instead of fight over here because I am not sure that we don't have some here that wouldn't be willing to join anyone, regardless of how bad or evil, just to fight against their own people. Never in my life have I see such a division and outright hatred at home.


AP, how do we repay the people of Iraq who are in danger of being killed right now because of that blasted war?  We owe them something and I would think it would be their lives.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
