“We don’t need to get involved in a 1000 year old religious civil war.”
no we don’t, but we can’t allow the cancer of destabilization of that region which was precipitated by Obama and Hillary to grow unchecked. Should Syria and Iraq disintegrate into failed countries ISIS will grow unchecked on the world stage in terms of both power and wealth, with massively negative consequences for the Western world.
Syria and Iraq are already failed countries (as is Libya and Yemen) and many more on the way.
We have been promoting destabilization. We have been arming ‘rebel’ groups (directly or through our surrogate Saudi Arabia) such as ISIS, Al Nusra, FSA as well as many subsidiary and sundry headchopper organizations.

Why don’t we just stop doing that and then proposing that we go in there and sort them out?
