We had more troops die in Afghanistan under Obama than under Bush and America yawned

. . . good luck getting the same amount of people in the street to protest this President if he decides to intervene militarily in Iraq on the behalf of the Maliki government.

Will President Obama stage airstrikes against Sunni rebels fighting the autocratic Shia-dominated regime that we defended in power? Will he intervene on one side of their sectarian battle?

Where are you going to stand?
