    In this case I actually agree with Roamy. Take a look at what is going on in the world, then look at the countries stopping it. Which is none. Many of the same that condemn the US for getting involved will do nothing unless the US does get involved, and instead choose to watch ethnic cleansing, overthrown governments, etc.

    I would think that the one time the world would agree to use military force would be to stop just crimes against people. But instead, the world will sit on the sidelines and do nothing. I guess they will just hope such things never happen in their country, as it's possible nobody will come to help.

    To understand fousto (aka Roamy) is to admit you are a nutter!!! Leave it be

    Surely we already know that this is true; I am a nutter

    Count me in as well. But these days if you think for yourself someone will think you are a nutter regardless. Easier to embrace it and go with it than to fight it.

    Our superior Eurocentric friends seem conspicuously incognito on this thread. Those big bad mean American bullies. At least Barry talked tough tonight. I was frankly proud of him tonight. We shall see . . .

    I live in Australia. We have no foreign policy other than to do whatever big brother tells us to do. Firstly we did what John Bull told us and now we do what Uncle Sam tells us. That's pretty well much been the reason Australia has been to every war it's been in ever.
    Little Barry McKenzie is too much of an idiot to question what others tell him to do.

    Before getting involved into something make sure your involvement is going to improve things. That's not been the case with the latest U.S. military interventions.

    Which one are you speaking of? You've got to be more specific.

    If you mean the Iraq/Syria thing, perhaps you think our best course would just to stay out and let ISIS do whatever it wants? Personally, I think that might not be a bad way to go. It's a Muslim problem so let the Muslim countries of the world deal with it. What is going on there can't be too bad - shooting prisoners; raping women and/or forcing marriage; killing non combatants and children; etc. - since we don't see the populations of the majority Muslim countries of the world taking to the streets to demand immediate action against the "Islamic State". If its OK with the rest of Islam I guess its OK with me.
