How is it any of our business? Let Israel and Turkey work it out.

Send them a copy of our Declaration and Constitution. Let them figure it out.

It is not worth a penny of taxpayers’ cash or the welfare of any of our military to get involved in their uncivil society and its woes.

"I met with students, politicians, journalists, former military, religious leaders and civil society activists." "I also met with ordinary people."

I really don't know how to react to that... To me, this person comes off like the usual liberal bleeding heart looking for just another worthless cause to waste money and good American lives on...

“ordinary people”, in this context, means (to me) the very people that the media deliberately ignore. The categories the author lists before this phrase are the people used by media to portray what “ordinary people” are thinking - right or wrong (usually wrong).

A quiet conversation over coffee in a nameless cafe can often give more insight into the mind of “ordinary people” than a thousand interviews with self-promoting “elite” that use their access to media as a cudgel to shape (not measure) public opinion.

Just my $.02.

Read the Book” The Absent Superpower” by Peter Zeihan. We are in the first stages of his story with Trump the likely captain of this new world view. Zeihan sees the world in geographical and demographic terms. If he’s right we’re in good shape and the rest of the world is in trouble, and we don’t need to respond to every emergency and won’t.

“Make it the safe zone Trump promised.”

We think you ought to get over there and get it done.

The rest of us don’t care and are disinclined from spending a single penny or drop of blood.

How about we mind our own business. Wish them well and let them settle it amongst themselves.

Hi.

The U.S. should respond like this: Hey Macron! Check out your southern flank. The Lebanese could use some assistance.

Thanks.
