Ask the hundreds of thousands of Assyrian Christians, Kurds, and Yazidis who are being massacred by the ISIS Islamists if they want change. And don't tell me that this wasn't happening under Saddam - Saddam gassed tens of thousands of Kurds and killed tens of thousands more. And as for those in the "but where were the WMD" crowd: Sunni Extremists in Iraq Occupy Saddam Hussein's Chemical Weapons Facility - WSJ oops. to quote smarter men that I: "To ignore evil is to become an accomplice to it." ~ Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." ~ Edmund Burke
Guys my Grandmother is from the Middle east, she'll tell you, they will never change. Quote all the people you want, it's just not going to happen.

Your grandma is from there? My question is how much time have you spent in the military and how much time have you spent in the Middle East?
I'll go with this guy, and he's dead right about the support for veterans. We spend more on our defense budget than the next 13 allies combined. Yet, we cannot take care of our Military Veterans, we ask them to pay a great price for their service, we should demand they be taken care of, Obama and Bush have failed in this area. Lets throw in all of congress too.
Does anyone know where al-baghdadi (leader of ISIS) was the day Obama became president? Has anyone read about the Taliban Leadership that was traded for Bowe Bergdahl? Yes, Obama was insistent on finding Bin Laden, but his policies have also allowed important personnel to rejoin terrorist groups. Zwahiri who was second in command to Bin Laden and is now Al-Qaeda's leader needs to be given priority on the target list equal to or greater than Bin Laden had. Zwahiri was instrumental( more so than Bin Laden) to developing Al Qaeda ideology that motivates them to attack targets outside the Middle East.
War is the economy that drives the middle East, the players may change but the game never will, nor should we expect it to, war is a way of life, they know no other, they live a religion that demands that the killing never ends, and with the outside worlds help it never will.
No argument there. I'm pretty sure that's the prevailing theory. We only gave Saddam like 12 months notice we were going to invade.
