7. They make it difficult to feel sorry for them.

If the news releases are accurate, they're a disease that needs attention.

I sometimes don't understand why we have to be the ones to respond though. The Iraqis showed us just how helpless they are against people they don't want in their country. We lost 5,000 soldiers to a people the media said was unable to take back their own country from one dictator.

Perhaps the people of Iraq at least, are almost equally torn between a civil secular govt that gets things done and purpose driven extremists like ISIS. If that's the case, there's little hope for progress soon, no matter how many drones we launch.
