Erasing boarders drawn on resources would be a big first step. Letting people live along their cultural lines would help the region but the only bigger motivator than religion is power and greed and it wouldn't be long before one group wanted more of what the other group has. Its human nature...

This is probably the best laid out timeline of events. Thanks for posting. Its very clear the instability is being gamed by all sides to gain in the region.

I don't think anyone is telling the complete truth here. Remember the US had proof of WMD's? Remember Russia isn't in the Ukraine and their weapons had nothing to do with downing an airliner. wink wink. All of the countries of the coalition can be linked to supporting/funding terror. Saudi...

Everyone involved seems to subscribe to the 'The enemy of my enemy is a friend' philosophy.

Cyprus gets little respect from anyone but you are correct.

Where did you hear that?

When you have nations like the U.S. and Russia who don't respect any other nations sovereignty these incidents are going to happen. If a foreign jet enters your airspace and won't respond to calls what are the other options? This is not the first time that Syrian and Russian planes have been...

Did you even read what I wrote? It would have been easier for the Syrians to fight back if their entire infrastructure wasn't 'bombed to the stoneage' It would have been much easier for the population if the U.S. wasn't arming and supporting all of the people doing the acts you listed. Your...

Mike clearly believes all Syrians are terrorists but would never come out and actually confirm himself a biggot instead trying to hide behind stats without context and no willingness to understand the situation and why its happening.

They are funning away because it is not a problem of their own making. Who was arming all the rebel groups (ISIS) to fight Assad? Who then destroyed any infrastructure the country had through airstrikes? Maybe we as Western society should take responsibility for meddling in other peoples...

He is not my saviour. I didn't vote for him. I would love to see some evidence to back up your claim that he has done 'exactly what the last guy did'. Has Justin closed VA offices? Did Justin reduce the compensation wounded veterans can receive? Has Justin wasted tax payer money taking...

Considering you voted for a guy who has been cutting Veterans benefits, Closed Veterans affairs offices and spend millions fighting our Veterans in court, I find your support of Veterans issues to be very self serving. Why didn't you care about Veterans the entire last 10 years? How many days...

For all those so afraid of terrorists among the refugees let me ask you which is easier and more likely. Get a fake passport and endure rigorous background and biometric checks by all levels of law enforcement to enter as a refugee? Even then because children and women are prioritized the...

I'd take an expandable baton over a small pocket knife (as reported) any day of the week. The police were never in any danger until they decided to create confrontation. The guy wasn't leaving the streetcar and wasn't anywhere in strike distance. There was no rush to force confrontation and the...

Here is a good selection of clips from GenKill to give you an idea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfWyLfcXMls

Very True. I guess it should be shocking. So many beat the drums of war but are no where to be found when the kids come home.

Proud of being a Marine. Acknowledges the pointlessness of most of it. My Brother fortunately went to Iraq with the with no illusions of being liberators or heroes like many of the indoctrinated 18yr olds he was in command of. It was a job. He had mentally prepared to be coming home in a bag...

I have family that used to be in the U.S. Military and this passage and translation was stressed to them that it was ok to kill as long as it is justified. Trying to relieve any religious misgivings of taking a life.

You can't destroy an ideology by proving it to be true. Going to war with ISIS is what they want. They want foreign invaders as it serves their narrative. The anti Muslim rhetoric or racists and xenophobes are just fuelling people to join ISIS. In order to kill the ideology you have to show how...

It can't be 'Western' boots on the ground unless its in a support role only. The only way to beat ISIS is to prove their ideology false giving them no relevance in the lives of young vulnerable Muslims. ISIS is an ideology not a nation invading another middle east country (for the fear of...
