  2. +marine12324 assad never did anything to the usa. we should pick and choose our battles wisely and just stick to getting rid of ISIS.

  3. marine12324 i think that it is bad news whenever we overstep our bounds in the middle-east.  no matter what the intentions of the troops and the pentagon might be, they will always be seen as imperialist occupiers and even worse non-muslim, infidel, imperialist occupiers.  besides that the syrian war isn't any of our business and nobody there wants us to make it our business.  if they (alawites and the rebels) want to fight and if taking in some refugees or sending out the red cross to help then that would be fine but sending troops to take out assad would be a really bad idea.  things would turn out worse than it did in iraq and pit us up directly against russia itself.  as a matter of fact i think that it was really stupid of putin to send troops to help assad in itself and now the muslim world is going to turn on russia now too and they won't just be chechen separatists either.

  4. marine12324 whether or not we were imperialist occupiers or not, essentially everybody in the muslim world interpreted us as being that way.  the hint to me would be "stay out of our business and don't try to help us out." the wisest thing to do is to just acquiesce to their request and simply not get involved in their problems.

  5. marine12324 if we send ground troops there then it could just be a temporary fix and lead to more radicalization against the usa.  we might be able to make ISIS impotent but it seems like we would have to watch out for more terrorist groups popping up.

  6. +Tim Turner you would have to go into a time machine and ask the allies who wrote the treaty of versailles about that one.

  8. marine12324 i think that they would be fine if we armed them but in the case of this video the usa would have to go through maliki and the iraqi government which complicates things a lot and also imo something that ISIS knew full well about when they attacked the iraqi kurds.  like they said in the video, the PKK (fellow kurds from turkey) came down to help them and the kurds in iraq are not comfortable with even that.  i can understand wanting to do more to militarily help them and maybe ground troops wouldn't be a bad idea but i wouldn't expect any praise or appreciation from any of the locals if we do it.
