| halogamer1989 said: Syria is a doorway to Iraq for jihadists. If Syria is unable at the time to take out their enemies than the U.S. will by any means necessary. Diplomacy 101 will fix any "we going to bomb the shit out of you for attacking our border cities" mentality. Btw, the US is engaged in a global war, not just Iraq and Afghanistan. We had/have forces in Pakistan, Lebanon, the Philippines, support and spec ops in Indonesia and Somalia as well as probably some SEALS in the Algerian front, and mass counter-intel and black ops inside Iran.

America isn't Team America. We just can't go into any country we want and do whatever we want even if we have a good reason.
What if Canada or Mexico invaded parts of our country to pursue criminals or some other group? Would you be cool with that?
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
