    In a free country, there would be nothing stopping someone if they wanted to intervene. They just couldn't force the rest of the country to do it for them.

    If we hadnt intervened to begin with 60 years ago, then 50 years ago, then 45 years ago, then 30 years ago, then 20 years ago, then 10 years ago, there would be NO need for us to intervene now. By constantly intervening, funding their enemies when they wear different labels, undermining their currency, destroying their infrastructure, there would be no need for intervention.

    The thing is, Stability is NOT the goal. In fact, it is the exact opposite. The US needs a threat in order to monger fear at home, and ISIS / ISIL is able to foot the bill once Iraq is unstable enough for long enough. By maintaining a lack of stability in the entire Middle East, the US makes many countries, not just Iraq, completely dependant, and thus, controllable. The control is used to manufacture terrorism at every turn. The same way as Cops here killing innocents creates the need for even more Cops. It validates the Govts excuse for endless wars by providing a constant supply of infinte undefeatable enemies because it always manufactures new enemies through its intervention. That dependancy Iraq has on us is taken advantage of to maintain their instability. It is no different than the numerous problems that a Welfare state causes at home.

    The ME Christians have been being persecuted since Bush launched his Islamic-Theocracy building wars, and suddenly conservatives care? What's so special about these particular Christians? They're in Iraq. It just sickens me how they're being used as an excuse to re-start that dumbass war which they refuse to call a huge mistake.

    However, Iraqi officials said that much of the US aid had been “useless” because it was dropped from 15,000ft without parachutes and exploded on impact.

    Based on the idea of natural rights, government secures those rights to the individual by strictly negative intervention, making justice costless and easy of access; and beyond that it does not go. The State, on the other hand, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing.

    Exclamation FASCIST PROPAGANDA: How FOX NEWS/NEWSCORP TV Stooge Judge Jeanine Pirro Conditions TV watchers

    Mossad and CIA created, trained, and had their proxy tyrants, Turkey, Qatar, House of Saud, U.A.E. and Kuwait arm the terrorist groups. Accessory to murder, is still results in murder.


    Nothing will ever change, when some elite person/group, some government(s) want to gain, profit, and control. It always happens at the expense of the taxpayers and innocent life.

    BTW, listen to this Devious Devil of Deception... listen to every word, every emphasis, every dramatic line, and listen to what sociopathic multimillionaire 'Judge' Jeanine Pirro of US corporate media (FOX/NEWSCORP) inflicts on the unsuspecting viewers. Well scripted, well planned, and most importantly well timed, to prep the clueless viewers for the operations to commence. (Jun 21, 2014)

    Joseph Goebbels would be absolutely delighted on how US media controls and desensatizes the public opinion to war, killing, and the inheritance of debt, insecurity, tyranny.

    I have a slightly different perspective. I think it would have been best to just leave ISIS alone and maybe arm the Kurds at most. But now since Obama poked at them with his bombs and got ISIS all pissed off at the US, I think we may have to wipe ISIS out before blowback happens.

    I completely agree, raise money, hire mercenaries, buy arms. Nothing is stopping anyone from intervening. I don't understand why people expect the government to steal my money to hire soldiers and buy arms to do the same thing. Who wants to pony up the first dollar?

Should the US continue to oppose the Kurds selling their own oil to raise money? Isn't opposing arms for the Kurds and preventing them from selling oil also "interventionism"?

    That right there.
    Out of every one hundred men they send us, ten should not even be here. Eighty will do nothing but serve as targets for the enemy. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, upon them depends our success in battle. But one, ah the one, he is a real warrior, and he will bring the others back from battle alive.

    Aside from American arms perpetuating strife, being used as geo-political tools to hold nations subservient while foolishly picking winners and losers, and perpetuating a system in which a class of rather unproductive (at best) destruction builders retain continual employment, I would agree, arm the Kurds.

    Don't arm the Kurds with weapons built from money stolen from me. Fire the lot of them.

    If a private citizen wished to arm the Kurds, by all means. That's not the way this system works.

    I sure am glad the federal government created another enemy for me to go fight! Not!!!
    "I know the urge to arm yourself, because that’s what I did. I was trained in firearms. When I walked to the hospital when my husband was sick, I carried a concealed weapon. I made the determination that if somebody was going to try to take me out I was going to take them with me."

    Intervention won't solve this problem, it would at best delay it until we leave once again. These countries need to be allowed to split apart and wars because of that are inevitable, there is literally nothing we can do. Taking one side against the other just creates another enemy for us, we can't occupy them forever, we can't force people to be civilized. Our interventionism is what created IS, we'd be just be adding fuel to the fire.

    Yep, sell it to them, don't use taxpayer money for it. The Kurds can start a "chip-in" if they want monetary aid. Hmmmmm. A politician could use that idea...

    Suppose you had to check a box on your income tax form that says you support the Iraq war and want to fund it, please tax me another $500.

    no.

    This will not happen either but it should in a perfect world :

    McCain should be put under investigation along with John Kerry and the committee that gave funding and weaponry to "free syrian rebel army" leaders who are the same group of militants that cut the hearts out of little children after cutting the parents to pieces.

    ISIS gained a lot of power because of the U.S. supplying "syrian rebels" .

    Why are so many of those who call themselves “non-interventionist” suddenly jumping on the “bomb Iraq” bandwagon with the latest dose of US government propaganda about the critical need to “save the Kurds”? Do people really believe the US government is telling the truth this time and, more importantly, that bombs will solve the problem?

    How strange that humanitarian catastrophes of a much larger scale are taking place currently in Syria, Ukraine, Gaza, and elsewhere and the US government is totally silent or even hostile to those who seek to help! Not to mention the half-million Christians already cleansed from Iraq under US occupation. Might it have something to do with oil? Israel? Neocons striking back? Yes, yes, and yes!
    Based on the idea of natural rights, government secures those rights to the individual by strictly negative intervention, making justice costless and easy of access; and beyond that it does not go. The State, on the other hand, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social.

    Normally I would say yes because there is nothing I hate more than hired fools who would destroyed their country and at the same time give outsiders more reason to hate Islam. But I think the best thing for the US to do is to one tell the truth about what they did, some rank and file still believe they oppose the west and Israel even as they burn Palestinian flags and chant for the destruction of secular Arabic countries because they believe they are more dangerous to Islam than the US and Israel.

    Bring out documents showing their commanders going through secret American training camps in Jordan, release phone call between their leader and their true masters and before you would know it they would have a mutiny on their hands. All the while stopping all funding and assistance from Western and Gulf state intelligence groups. But I have a feeling that would never happen.

    It is a sick world we live in.
