This is starting to look too much like all those Balkan conflicts just before WWI.

Correct you are good sir! One shot into Arch Duke Ferdinand's body and his death started the hell of WWI. It was an ugly war and many died.

Today we are but one incident between Russian and American fighter jets in Syria to lead to the same insane end.

Both sides have nuclear weapons. In WWI the death toll was in the tens of millions. With nuclear weapons it will be in the hundreds of millions.

Syria was no threat to the USA. The only country Syria threatened is Israel. Israel could take care of Syria in a long afternoon if it went nuclear. If not nuclear it will take a couple of months.

Bashar of Syria is a tyrant. The alternative of him is many many times worse.

Before this civil war and extra civil war a Christian or Jew or Muslim could live and work and pray in Syria. Today the Christian and Jew is persecuted and killed at the hands of the ISIS forces we support. John McCain calls them freedom fighters. He is wrong and knows now he was wrong. He will not say it. He is part of the problem. Bashar Assad is a bad man. The forces that oppose him are magnitudes worse.

ps
Pull your head out of your ass Mr. John McCain. You are supporting very bad people that wish us great ill.

I have lived and worked in the Middle East. I do know of which I speak. Our policy in the Middle East is insane. We have taken an area that should be our natural allies and destabilized it from Nigeria to India. The best I can say of Obama’s policies for the last eight years is he is a fool.

However I think he is no fool and his policies and Hillary's polices are but part of their plan. Neither one of them is stupid.
