As was in the past, so will be the future. History will straighten you out.

I beg to differ. It's the Almighty who will straighten it out. It's his side we endeavor to be on and why so many here are happy someone, even a former enemy (i.e. Russia), is taking the lead to halt the rape and slaughter which by all accounts this abomination of an administration helped to bring about.

Unquestioned loyalty to a nation which has lost its way and no longer stands by the values upon which it was founded isn't a virtue, it's the blind being led by the blind.

The world saw this kind of blindness in WWII when loyal Germans slaughtered 6 million of their fellow countrymen.

We've hire mercenaries to cause strife and mayhem in a foreign land in the name righteousness, but in actuality nefarious reasons, resulting in the deaths and suffering of many innocent people whose blood is on our hands. You're not going to sweep this under the rug with any amount of self-serving propaganda. Better to open your eyes and help us put a stop to it by speaking out about it.

Germans killed 11 million of their countrymen. Plus 4,200,000 soldiers and civilians from war.

You're absolutely right about that. We all need to trust God when things get crazy.

Well, I wasn't alive during the 1930's, but I come close. What I'm going to say may be hard to believe, but during that during that time there were some Americans who so hated FDR that they actually rooted for Hitler and his gangster friends for quite some time. (Eventually, they came around.) So, when I see some Americans rooting for a thugs like Putin and Assad today, I am not completely surprised. For a lot of people there is no distinction between foreign policy and domestic policy.

I am an American. I know that my country has made some mistakes, but on balance, my country has been a very important force for decency in the world. I am going to stick with the USA. Those who choose to follow Putin, Assad and Iran will do so at their own risk.
