In reply to the discussion: Apparently no one told American politicians that America is at war [View all]RoccoR5955

Look at it, and you shall see. The US pulled bases from Saudi Arabia AFTER they destabilized Iraq. Once Iraq was destabilized, and the Baath Party was totally taken out, and had nothing to do, the early forming of ISL was started. Attacks did not stop, not because we pulled troops from Saudi Arabia, attacks did not stop because the US did not stop killing innocent people in the Middle East.
I suppose that you are one of the folks who want to just turn the entire region, except for Israel, to glass.
It would not surprise me one bit, if you fail to see the how and why of ISL.

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.
