Are you really ready for another war in Iraq?

31. They don't have to be at this point nor do the best intentions much help us

Like Donnie, we are out of our fucking element here. Our every move in the region (yes, including under Obama) has made matters worse.
We are facing nothing but the most probable outcome our actions to date, the best options long since past.
Now we need to get the fuck out, shut down the CIA machinations that maybe most dangerously inflame already bad situations, stop funding and arming sibling and affiliate groups in the wider region, and pray real fucking hard for an enlightenment before it boils over into a world war situation in a decade or two when the real shit hits the fan.

Don't want to go that route then there are possibilities that involve actions that will make the entire political spectrum ill starting with killing that pales in comparison to what is happening now, moving on to ruthless but fair and open occupation, dictation of form and design of government, a mountain of money and expertise with significant socialism and secularism baked into the design to get and maintain buy in from the population.
