For support of terrorism, which could be leveled at Assad as well, even genocide. We would have got Ghaddafi too, had the Italians not warned him. Bygones? Edited by nNeo, Apr 7 2017, 10:06 PM.

Most of them see it as fighting for their homeland. They don't have a lot of options, other than leave, which as we know has been getting harder. From their perspectives "we've been living her for generations, this is all we have, now [other tribe or foreign power] is bombing the crap out of us". What to do? |

They should have a case for genocide. I'd tell the Russians not to put any of their own security too close to him or it would be on them. And yes, the Saudis have gotten off way too easily on all this(see 9/11) - we go after Afghanistan because Osama might be there but do nothing to the country where nearly all the hijackers came from. As they pump away their only chip and the world inexorably turns to alternative energy sources, I hope to live long enough to watch their leaders head back to their camels and tents. |

I would venture that most of what consists of ISIS in Syria isn't even Syrian. It's a take on the Afghan model where there's a warlord and the paid soldiery and it's all over the ME. The economy isn't very good and it's a steady job while you live. I have friends who still smoke a couple of packs a day, the risk is probably a little lower. |

If you had studied history you would know of the obstacles that FDR went through before authorizing the US hit on Admiral Yomoto So let's really get Russia directly involved in it, shall we? that's WW3. This limited strike only showed intent to resolve a problem. |

There hasn't been a single act of Islamic terrorism in Japan. If you support bringing these people in you are an internal enemy. |

Bottom line is our ancestors had enough tribalism to win. We don't. |

So, the Yamamoto hit wasn't a war crime, huh? Thanks for making my point. Russia is not going to start WW3 over Assad, do you sleep with a night light? They resolved nothing. Assad is still free to keep killing his own people. |

Not yet, no, but there are Muslims there... might be just a matter of time. |

No. The Japanese elite doesn't depise its history and heritage. |

Exactly so. We can't stop people who really want to kill each other from doing so, short of occupying the entire region and establishing martial law for a generation or two, and forcing their children to be educated to our standards from the ground up. And of course, that's never going to happen. So all our getting involved does is up the body count dramatically, cost us resources we don't need to be expending, and destabilizes a situation that is far from stable already. This attack? Accomplishes nothing long term, or even medium term. If Assad decides he wants to use chemical weapons again, he will. And as you say, the Russians will now probably increase their assistance. It all seems rather pointless and just doing something to say that something was done. "Look at me, I'm more decisive and aggressive than that big ole' pantie waist Obama!" Great, such an accomplishment.

Right. A good many of them are from Saddam's army, and they may or may not really care about the religious stuff. They were the Iraqi brute squad; it's what they know how to do. |

Japan will deport these people without hesitation if they try to do what the Muslim in Sweden did earlier. Japan does not play around. Preservation of their culture is a top priority. |

There were Muslims here for generations, none of whom committed terrorist acts. |

No. Not even close. Millions of peaceful American Muslims. Zero terrorism. The "bad guys" came much later, from outside, and (from their perspective) in response to US policy. |

The Admiral Yamamoto hit wasn't a war crime, because he wasn't the head of government, that's the point. Russia is not going to start WW3 over Assad? you're probably right? But why throw more wood on the fire? A show of force is the first step to encourage diplomacy. I'm reminded a lot of the Cuban Missile Crisis here. The stage is set, now the backroom diplomacy kicks in, perfect timing for our Sec. of state to visit Russia, you think? |

Admiral Yamamoto being shot down over Bougainville, was the direct result of liberal actions that day.

Liar. Islam is a product of the 1965 immigration act. |
