I have been a big interventionist up til the past couple of weeks. My head has not been in the sand. I just think we are making things worse that are not of our concern. Chaos-stan is not ours and the conflicts are centuries old. We will add nothing to it. Time for us to learn how to fight like the Swiss and focus on significant defense measures.

True. It is the responsibility of every great empire to run itself into the ground and make way for the next up-and-coming star.

Yes, and the world game started with an assassination of an Archduke. The tangles of alliances proceeded to ignite the First World War.

Think carefully before you answer. IMO we do not have a dog in this fight.
