13. You actually think WWII had anything to do with the Jews and other minorities in Europe..?

Shit... Jews couldn't stay in half the hotels in big cities or belong to the Country Clubs. Jews had a hard time immigrating into the US. In November of 1942, the US announced that Germany was instigating a "final solution" to the Jews in Europe. You'll recall we joined the war about a year before that date, and were doing everything to defeat the Axis, but it had little to do with the Jews.

Another false analogy.... the US and Allies were fighting full-on state actors in WWII. Conventional armies. This is a bunch of loons spawned from another bunch of loons. There has never been more than 25,000 Taliban. How many ISIS warriors do you imagine there are? Want to do a full war on them...?

Want yet another round of Middle-East Whack-a-Mole? $6 Trillion and 7000 US dead weren't enough?

Can't we stay out of just one of these clusterfucks?
