Look..you are free to assume the USA is responsible for all the religious nuts that are over other Muslim countries if you want to. But you are wrong.

The bottom line is it is not the USA’s job to rescue another countries people when they are perfectly able to do so themselves. Iran did it before they can do it again.

Currently there is Iranian leadership waiting in the wings to assume leadership when the thugs are gone, and the people know it. They also know that leadership was not there before. You just don’t go in with bombs and take out a nations leadership without another leadership ready to assume control.

Why do you think in the first Gulf war we didn’t keep on going and take out Saddam? There was no leadership in place to assume control. Had we done that... you can bet chaos beyond immagination would have occured in that country...Somalia comes to mind.

I never said this. Nor did I suggest it was our job to rescue the people there, nor that we should go in there with bombs.

You are free to debate points that I did not make, but instead I'd suggest you spend your time elsewhere.

"Why do you think in the first Gulf war we didn’t keep on going and take out Saddam? There was no leadership in place to assume control. Had we done that... you can bet chaos beyond immagination would have occured in that country...Somalia comes to mind."

You really are clueless, aren't you? Bush Sr. was following a UN mandate to kick Saddam out of Kuwait and stopped once it was achieved - mistake. Bush Jr. marched into Bagdad, still with NO "leadership in place". After some misteps, the surge brought relative peace and prosperity to that country. And guess what? Iraq formed their own leadership. Afganacrap is another thing entirely...so don't go there.

That said, we can debate whether we should have invaded Iraq and I definitely don't believe the USA should be the world police. Somalia? Really?

Pull up the drawbridge and/or play appeaser and let the world self-destruct. The only reason you still waste oxygen is because the USA has been an influential power in the world. Of course, that's diminishing now that obambi is around to make us look weak. I'm done with you.
