The simple fact is that if John McCain were President, the world would not be in the terrible shape it is in.
McCain is a man of proven principle, capable of bipartisan action, a man forged in service to his country.....
Really now?
John McCain.... the same guy who wanted to Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran.
Yeah... the world wouldn't be in the terrible shape it is in now.... it'd be far worse off.
Regardless of all the politics, finger pointing at McCain and/or Obama or Bush or whoever....
Regardless of all the crap about evil Muslims and evil Israel or evil whatever.....
I'm not someone who generalizes entire groups of people.
I don't sum up all Americans into one category, I don't sum up all Jewish people into one category, nor do I sum up all Muslims into one category (ie: Moderates and Extremists are all the same)
I personally focus on specific organizations, specific people and specific actions.
And in regards to the ISIS (or IS, whatever) they are a form of Extremist who have proven their threat and brutality towards anybody who doesn't follow their ways and beliefs.
I agree with Boomer to an extent:
"Any supporters of this ISIS movement here in Canada, the USA, UK should be strung up by their heals..
ISIS are just animals.. carpet bomb the whole region, kill them all."
Any supporters of the ISIS should be dealt with severely and those in Iraq/Syria need to be stomped into the dirt before they get even worse.
I don't care who armed them or who helped them gain the power they have now... hindsight's a b*tch and finger pointing at who did what and when isn't going to fix things now.
These goons need a severe azz kicking
If they want to start slaughtering and killing innocent people, if they want to threaten and stick their finger in the air at the rest of the world and try and pick a fight, then they should get what they ask for.
Unfortunately the West does have a hand in this mess and unfortunately we can't wash our hands of this mess and act like it's not our problem.
But my reasoning is more towards a humanitarian direction more than anything
