IDK. I'm not a fan of nation-building and I don't think we should be in the business of toppling regimes and placing friendly ones in their place, but it seems like there's a humanitarian need here. From all reports, ISIS isn't Saddam or a disorganized, multinational terrorist organization. These guys want power, not wealth or destruction. And they are slaughtering people indiscriminately.
Perhaps our great ally, Israel, can step in and take some shots?
and then what? its the same question I asked when Saddam was booted out, sure it was a great moment but it was only a matter of time before the warlords popped up to get their piece
and that seems to be the situation here....I agree on the humanitarian need, but to what end? what is it going to take to stabilize that part of the world to the point where stuff like this isn't a normal occurence?
The worst outbreak of ebola ever hasn't killed 1000 people yet, and the only reason why it's the worst outbreak ever is because the region was previously free from the disease and they haven't got any experience containing it (plus urban myths like doctors spreading it).
It's just Donald Trump being well... Donald Trump.
I don't know. And I'm damn glad I'm not the one who has to make these decisions.
*scoffs* The subway is much easier to use and so much faster. It really depends on where in the city you're traveling. I'd rather take the bus anywhere than the D line. But if I could take Metro North (Harlem line, not your awful Connecticut trains) anywhere in NYC, I'd choose that. But the D line... *shudder* Granted, I'm usually traveling from the Bronx to west 59th if I'm not taking the Harlem line straight to Grand Central.
President Obama, in his speech last night, did acknowledge the U.S. had people consulting with the United Nations, and the thousands of people being starved out on a mountain was a humanitarian crisis we shouldn't allow. If I remember right, he did mention Sudan, which both the Bush administration and United Nations sat on their hands during.
So yeah, I agree, pip. And I think we're looking at the blue helmets we haven't seen much since Yugoslavia in the 90s.

Once in NYC, I got down on the bus too early, took the subway the rest of the way to my destination, and got there before the bus.
So basically buses are for suckers.
