We (US) need to get it through our fucking heads that we aren't the world's police. We should shut down all military bases around the world and focus on internal issues. IF nato, or the leading nations of the free world ASK for our involvement in another countries affairs, then we should consider...CONSIDER...it.

The Gulf War was BS and the second war was a damn disgrace of humanity and we should all be ashamed of ourselves for ever allowing it to happen. So no, we shouldn't go send a bunch of brainwashed children to go die needlessly again.

i wouldn't go that far in terms of isolationism but the majority of the American populace agree that we need to really step down when it comes to active foreign policy in international affairs.

that being said though i don't favor outright isolationism for the sole reason that it'd be a dick move to the nations who we've become strong allies with.  for example i think we have not an obligation per say, but somewhat of a duty to continue working with our friends in South Korea and be ready to jump in if Kim ever actually makes any moves.  similarly if nations such as U.K., Japan etc were to ever face invasion (of course that would be a ridiculously escalated conflict of pretty major historical significance) i think we would also face a similar "duty" to basically not abandon our allies.

although i'm pretty sure defensive pacts are in place to guarantee all that anyway.



Eh I wouldn't say we should remove our bases around the world. Japan and South Korea for example depend on our security there to help maintain balance in the region. If some countries ask us to remove the bases then sure.

But to answer your question, no I don't think we'll become involved in Iraq on a level where we put boots on the ground etc...... Air Stirkes and Drones will probably be the most we get involved, although I have heard that were sending 300 "Military Advisers" to the country.



They should. Some Americans love war and live for war. Also, if we don't war with other countries, we just war with ourselves. It brings unity among our people.

Only thing USA gained from war in Iraq was really just body bangs and extremeists on their ass...

They pissed off 1/3 of the world... Now I am waiting for them to invade Canada and hopefully EU involves because I would not be surprised if they invade Canada, conquer it and then aim at EU. USA became what Germany was under hitler, one opinion, one ideology, one system, cherry picking, fraud, smoke screen and sugar coating till you die and in the end it could end up Russia, anarchy, no rule, corruption everywhere and citizens rights ignored which is already happening in USA as couple of my american friends that live in my country told me...

What cops do in USA is a big no no in Europe, cops doing that would end up at 5 to 10 years in jail if they did all of those things in Europe.



From what i know the US government reduced the US military involvement in Iraq but increased funding for mercenary groups like Blackwater.US Military troops being redeployed to Iraq is highly unlikely but i think we will see more US Govt paid mercenaries (Blackwater or Arab militias funded by the USA), more drones and more air strikes.

Yes, its much easier to steal taxpayers money this way.



The US Spent over 1 billion on their new Iraqi embassy in Baghdad so i don't see them giving up Baghdad easily.



Iraq war or not, there are some who've always intended on recreating an expansive Islamic Caliphate in that region.  Whether the US does or doesn't go back to War, this is going to be something Iraq/Syria and the surrounding countries are going to have to do something about, eventually, or borders will disappear and a new oppressive sharia regime will take over.

I'm not entirely sure the US going back is going to do anything, unless the surrounding countries are 100% onboard, and involved. This will take a concerted effort by Arab Nations (with or without exterior support), to put an end to. Otherwise, it'll just be sold as US versus Islam again.
