In reply to the discussion: Apparently no one told American politicians that America is at war [View all]RoccoR5955
(12,471 posts)28. Hey look.
In case you forgot, Dubya went to war with Iraq, and it destabilized the region. He also failed to listen to his briefing which stated that they were going to use planes on 9/11 to attack the US. Why was this attack waged? If you read the history, it is because US troops were in Muslim Holy Lands. Had the troops not been there, 9/11 probably would not have happened, Shrub would not have attacked and destabilized Iraq, and ISL would not have been formed.
Using all that unimpeachable logic, the US is to blame for ANY AND ALL attacks by ISL.
Appalling, yes. Bullshit, NO WAY!

What if the US leaves ISIS alone and ISIS kills more people than they already are?

Some here prefer to be on the side of the angels: never a war, whatever the consequences

No, because they're not going to be the ones who have to deal with the consequences.

I don't think building a wall around an entire region is prudent or moral.
