I'm totally okay with my unpopular opinion and the consequences of my preferred action. Either get out, or go all in. Sitting there like targets and taking shots is not good for America's future anywhere around the globe, in my view.I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0 -

Forgive me if I completely missed your point, but if I'm hearing this right, I truly don't think race has anything to do with the fact that this is void of logic and introduces risk to the people Trump has sworn to protect, along with the USA allies in the region. If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like Iraq (couldn't resist).'05 - TO, '06 - TO 1, '08 - NYC 1 & 2, '09 - TO, Chi 1 & 2, '10 - Buffalo, NYC 1 & 2, '11 - TO 1 & 2, Hamilton, '13 - Buffalo, Brooklyn 1 & 2, '15 - Global Citizen, '16 - TO 1 & 2, Chi 2

what dreams said:dignin said:what dreams said:When was the last time a million Americans gathered in a square to shout "Death to [Name Your Country]!" Never. Our government is not perfect. Much of our foreign policy is whacked. But by and large, we are a generous people who would never whip ourselves into a stampede over the death of a general. Quite simplistically, and I know unrealistically, I would love it if we pulled out of Iraq and let those people have that desert all to themselves to do whatever they want. Good riddance, I would say. The Middle East has been nothing but trouble from the beginning. I just can't understand or sympathize with the point of view of a people, a culture, who hatefully gather to shout "Death to America." Fuck that. God help us all. We've got a lunatic president leading us into a war against a country also led by lunatics.
Yeah, that's right, our government isn't perfect, and they can have their damn oil as far as I'm concerned. Go solar, USA, and leave those idiots to drill oil we don't want or need. I have no problem with that at all. See what happens when nobody buys their damn oil because we've developed and lead the world in renewable energy. Absolutely bring that on.
But I'm not interested in living in a world where, as a female, I have to dress in a black sheet with nothing but an eye hole to see out of, or get stoned to death for walking down the street with without a male escort. All this false equivalency. Really? Go ahead, all of you and volunteer to move to to Iran if they're so worth defending.
At this point, I absolutely hope our military bombs Tehren into the ground. We can't sit back and let these religious fanatics attack our embassy and our bases without retaliation. Those are American citizens living in those spaces, whether we like it or not. They are someone's children, husbands and wives, parents. We can't let Iran or any other country just kill them without defending them.
in case you missed it, obama had a no-nuke deal, as mrussel stated, that by all measures iran was complying with.
so you are concerned about the american citizens that trump put in harm's way, and you blame iran for that?Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer0 -
Speaking of planes, how ironic to have one crash in Iran. Can't wait for more details on the cause.It's a hopeless situation...0
