There is a strong, and understandable, isolationist streak in America. Remember World War 2 was in grave doubt until the morning of December 7, 1941. That was the day the one of the Axis powers tried to cross a bridge too far.
I thought September 11, 2001 was another turning point. After winning wars in Afghanistan and Iraq America thought the job was over and elected a clown who promised peace and the moon. This war is just beginning. America is not engaged and the outcome will be in doubt until America wakes up.
This president will not engage in a war against his muslim brothers. He will pretend, but he will not engage. Instead he will seek to overthrow arab leaders like Kadaffi and Sisi and Assad who are actually holding back the forces of anarchy. He will work with the Iranians, who are out to destroy the USA and Israel. Most vile of all, he will work to undermine Netanyahu.
We are living through the late 1930's again. The parallels are eerie. The swastika has been replaced by the black flag of the caliphate but the results are the same, death and destruction. Just like Hitler grabbed Czechoslovakia and Austria, ISIS is gobbling up parts of Iraq and Syria. Libya seems to be next. Is Italy to ISIS what Poland was to Hitler?
You are so right....I hate to wish my life away but the next two years really needs to speed by for the sake of all of us.
