Let them kill each other, while we loom like vultures on the sidelines from Kuwait and Saudi. With our military, invading the country is the easy part. Terrorists try to set up camp or install a hostile government, we smack them down in 48 hours. 2 hours if we only need to flatten the country from air.
They want to stop the killing, they have to learn to live with each other. If they can't manage to do that, they're responsibile for building their own hell. We've spent long enough hand-holding and babysitting.
I totally agree. Would that the powers that be agreed as well.
Old Guard has nailed it. The only amendment I would make is to built a Ramstein-type American airbase in Kurdistan (the Kurds have invited us to do it.) That will control the air space for the whole region and scare the daylights out of Iran and Syria. As for the Iraqis, let the Shiites and Sunnis fight it out among themselves. It's dumb to try to stand between them.
You took the words right out of my mouth. An excellent suggestion.
