(135,425 posts)thought I'd landed in an alternate universe where posters on Democratic boards had the intellectual acuity of Tea Partyers!
The horseshit about "did do a BIT about trying for diplomacy" just shows how profound the lack of knowledge is, on this "more aware than most places" board re: this subject. USA and others have been working this issue like a dog for the last two-plus years, trying to craft a solution. It's not like Obama woke up three days ago and said "Uhhhhhhhh duhhhhhhhhh.... diplomacy! Yeah, that's the ticket!"
And some of the comments are just so. damned. certain. (though they shouldn't be) while they have no clue as to the history of the region, the issues at play, or the work and effort the administration has put into a resolution up to this point.
