Does anyone explain why the (broke) US govt needs to take any side at all? Everyone isn’t thinking clearly because of a couple of YouTube videos. Think: are you basing your beliefs on the same sources you constantly mistrust (media, Obama admin, GOPe).

Bring all the troops home. Fortify the border and ports and airspace.

The idea that we can hunker down here and hope that the radical Islamic threat will not affect us is dangerous and ill-informed. We are not just battling ISIS, but the entire global threat that has spread to Asia and Africa.

Jan Karski, the famous Polish hero in WWII who met with FDR to describe his firsthand knowledge of the Nazi concentration camps and the Holocaust, and who moved to the US and taught at Georgetown (I had one of his classes), said the following:

Democratic societies demonstrated on this occasion as on many others, before and after, that they are incapable of understanding political regimes of a different character….Democratic societies are accustomed to think in liberal, pragmatic categories; conflicts are believed to be based on misunderstandings and can be solved with a minimum of good will; extremism is a temporary aberration, so is irrational behavior in general, such as intolerance, cruelty, etc. The effort needed to overcome such basic psychological handicaps is immense….Each new generation faces this challenge again, for experience cannot be inherited.

Good idea...but it never worked for Rome, Berlin or Tokyo.....italy, Germany, or Tokyo!!! Got a better idea!!! Destroy the entire Democrat Party, politically, at the polls this on election day, November 4, 2014...and you effectively destroy Obama, politically at the same time!!!

Wise up, America, Americans...”ALL”....Obama is the true enemy among us!!!

To an increasing extent you are correct. For the commenters who responded to your post, it is 1939 and we need to do something to avoid WWII. That may be true but nobody can predict history. The sad fact is that US has been decimated by an attack on society, capitalism, Christianity and decency. We are no longer able to save the world and that it how the European elite want it. We could change back to a war footing but much of our industry has been gutted.

I would however push for a US response right now because that is one of the best wedges to use against the regime. Put up the videos of innocent Christians being slaughtered by ISIS and it will get some people out of their stupor long enough to realize that Obama and all of his flunkies in the media and political establishment are not their friends. We need a fundamental change in mindset from it's ok or good enough or Im doing ok, to the West is under attack and be gone in a few short decades.

Once we have thrown our enemies out of office (to the extent that is possible), then it would be time to regroup and restrengthen for the coming battles. Yes, we will probably have to save the world yet again. But we need to do that having recovered our heavy industry and technological superiority.
