And yes, lets continue to air strike! Who cares if it doesn't work at all? Who cares if drones have a 2% success rate at killing people who we want? Who cares if we bomb more schools, nurseries, marketplaces, and homes of innocent people than actually hitting the targets we planned to! Ah yes!
And a ground invasion works all the time, yes!!!
I say it is not our problem because it is not. Iraq is not our problem, Iraq is Iraq's problem. Their civil war is the problem of neighboring countries because instability spreads easily. How is instability going to spread to America??
The only thing I would support for America doing is sending massive humanitarian aid, reconstruction, and food and other resources to win the locals back. It'll show them, "wow, these ISIS guys burned half my village down, stole our money and food, raped out women, forced our men into conscription, all in the name of God! But wait?? Omg the Americans!!! They're giving us all this food, this water, they're rebuilding my homes! Neato! They're much better than ISIS!!!!"
This works much better than air strikes, because the way to beat ISIS is to bomb civilians, you know? We air strike, people hate us, we occupy them, burn their entire country to the ground, and years later they develop into terrorist organizations to fight us and see the end of us because the only version of America they see is our bombs falling on their mother or father or brother or son or whatever. Its time to end that.
What you're fighting for is a simple rinse and repeat. Oppress and exploit, bomb the civilians, 3-6 years later they organize against us, oppress and exploit, bomb the civilians, etc.
I mean come on, is there really an example of American intervention where the invaded is safe and good now? Where they prosper and are efficient? No.
I'm not going to support a movement that is going to send fellow Americans to their death, nor a movement that gives the world even more justification to hate my country.Shadowstar1922 wrote: ISIS is not our problem. Let Kurdistan and Jordan take them out.
okay so the first quote basically states how ISIS is not America's problem and that regional powers should intervene, and the second quote basically states how ISIS is not America's problem and that regional powers should intervene.
