We are in many places. Too many. Places like Syria, Afghanistan. So far, over the past Bushobama wars, we are still there and Americans are still dying for nothing.

Easy to wanna stay when it isn’t your family doing the dying.

Can you honestly point to any really significant, not to say vital, interest that the US invasion of Iraq, the US presence in Afghanistan for the last decade or any US ground presence in Syria might serve. All the US has been party to since 2003 is the shattering of the nations and societies in an arc stretching from Libya to Afghanistan. Both the GWB ‘Democracy Initiative’ and ‘Arab Spring’ have only brought tragedy and destruction to countries already fairly dysfunctional. The Wizards of Smart have plenty of blood on their hands both American military and natives and in the end it has only served the interests of K Street, the think tank whores and proponents of perpetual war for perpetual peace.
