So with all this advanced technology that Israel and the U.S. possess and the relative impotence of the Syrians,Iranians and Russians to detect or deter,why in the world are we even contemplating aggressive moves into their territories?

All that would do is devastate and destroy their cities and villages and kill multitudes of civilians,thereby ensuring that we will be hated and despised for a good,long time.

The more I read about this Syria situation the more convinced I am that we should just sit back,confident that the enemy is vulnerable to attack and incapable of responding. If the reports are true it would be barbaric and sinful to do anything more than remain prepared and vigilant.

I can live with that as long as they fear us.

You must be female or have liberal thought process. I am not trying to be insulting but I see no other way to explain something to you. Our enemies, Iran, Syria want to take a nuclear weapon and smuggle it into Israel or America and detonate it. They believe it is their responsibility to bring about the third world war which and usher in the 12th Imam. Google this. How about your entire family being vaporized? Think you might be a little upset?

We cannot always stop all of their efforts to succeed in such a task without destroying the leadership of those nations whom keep trying. To do that we must go in on the ground at some point and some point soon. To go in on the ground we must have air superiority and disable or destroy their air defenses. I am an American and a Christian. I would love nothing more then to live in peace.

Radical Islam declared war on the USA in 1979, they just have gotten more allies and sophistication in their efforts since. Ignoring them in the 90’s emboldened them. Read of the history of the Crusades and why they came about. Islam will not stop until we surrender and convert or we are all dead. Those who think differently have not read the Koran or the bloody history of Muhammed’s deluded vision of global domination.

Ah, yes, I forgot how popular the US has been in the Middle East since the days of Jimmuh Carter...(think about it).

And I especially forgot how hated and despised the US is in Japan and Germany after indiscriminate mass bombings of civilians in those countries.
