(17,997 posts)I am confused by your last sentence there. I thought that's what you wanted. I do too, just not by us dropping bombs all over the middle east.
There are always people in these groups that can be reasoned with. And even if blackmail is used or people bought off, it will be easier to destroy by them destroying themselves. We've done it before. Before we wanted our presence known in every conflict in the world. Whether we started it or not.
There are also groups and government's just as bad as ISIS. Why don't the people suffering at their hands deserve our help? Where's the outcry to bomb the shit out of them? I'm tired of us being a war mongering country.
I'm tired of hundreds of thousands of innocent people dying in my name. I'm sick of the war culture and the need to obliterate groups of people.
Who are we to call ISIS terrorists and not call ourselves the same. Children and families innocently living in a country we took arms against, burned alive by fire, napalm and white phosphorus. Innocent people tortured for a decade only to die and all in our name. Attacking a country for no other reason but money, using lies as an excuse while the perpetrators walk free and rich.
We are hypocrites. We created ISIS. Our continuation of tearing up the middle east will only breed more.
