300 Yazidi Hostages executed by ISIS

Question

Ho Hum another 300 innocent people executed by the cowards that call themselves ISIS, followers of the religion of peace... This happened in Iraq, a country that Obama inherited that was approaching normalcy, but the genius-in-chief—against the advisement of military experts had to withdrawal like a bank robbery to keep the only promise I can remember that he kept. Unlike Germany & S. Korea (where we've been for decades) we couldn't stay for a while to insure that 4,000 of our best and trillions of dollars weren't completely lost in vain. HE ALWAYS KNOWS BETTER THOUGH... 18 months to go...

First, they r animals not cowards.     Second, don&#x27;t know why we r over there in first place.   The lefts perspective, however, is interesting.   Bush fucked up everything.    Obama saved the U.S. by getting out.  But now we have to go back in.   Not sure I understand that logic

Wow.    I can&#x27;t decide which comment is dumber....   the Iraq approaching normalcy or post #4

wallstreetcappers · Answer

When Saddam was removed, the potential for any normalcy was also removed.

The only solution to normalcy in that area is forced peace between the different religious groups.

When Bush's group put in the local leadership they did this assured ZERO chance for success. You dont put in power the leader of the religious minority and expect things to work out.

Lot of hard truth in that.  That situation was one of definitely trying to choose the lesser of two evils.  The same could have easily happened with dissolving the USSR.  Every body on the outside gets to armchair quarter back how bad the current situation is, without ever realizing the possible after effects.

&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;You raise a good point about the lesser of two evils, but I disagree about the USSR comparision. Even with the rise of Putin, modern day Russia is a far cry from the USSR of the Cold War era.&#xD;&#xA;But what this thread does is remind of the absolute disaster Obama has been in foreign policy. One need look no further than his 2008 where he discussed how the Iraq War created the power vacuum in Iraq (and incidently, showcasing why the OP is so wrong...a house of cards propped up by the blood of American soldiers lives is no full deck. &#xD;&#xA;Yet what does Obama do? He pushes for the removal of Saddam like leaders in three other countries, thus creating the same vacuum. Pure disaster.

Dj,  my thought about the USSR was about our view of communism rather than a leader.  I know  growing up, whenever we viewed the soviet people  being subject to  communism, all we could speculate was how awful it was that was their way of life.  However it never occurred to anyone in the west the transition it must have been for them to wake up one day to Sudden massive self reliance that wasn&#x27;t required before.
