13. What is there left to say?

Mar 2016

these horrors aren't going to end anytime soon. Ankara, Maiguduru, now Bruxelles, all in the last week. not to mention the ongoing genocide in Yemen, being conducted with our weapons by the House of Saud.

it will make American Isolationists pull themselves into their shells even further. the more attacks, the more likely Trump or Cruz becomes, the more likely a stupid, indiscriminate response becomes.

some solution must be found to Sunni fanaticism, but what? grant them a country in Syria and Iraq, as ISIL demands?

thanks again, Bush.
