    They're generally too busy killing each other to worry about us... they've been doing it for 12 centuries.

    Except on the rare occasion when they need a common enemy.

    My point is that Iran shot down a plane full of civilians but the left will keep defending them and telling us how we shouldn't kill terrorists, as usual.

    If the US had shot down a civilian airliner that night there would be no end to the insufferable screeching and wailing descending on this forum and social media. You can pretend otherwise, but everyone knows that's true.

    Um, our contractor being killed and the attack on our embassy is why we killed Soleimani. Keep up.

    You know, as opposed to the Obama era where he allowed Russia to enter Syria, allowed our embassy to be overran and our people killed, US sailors were captured and humiliated by Iran, allowed Ukraine to be invaded by Russia, brought back chattel slavery to Libya, oversaw the arab spring, and sent millions of violent lunatics streaming into Europe.

    I understand your anxiety.

    When comparing Trump's administration to Obama's, it does highlight the glaring cowardice and incompetence of leftist ideals and management.

    True, and I'm inclined to believe it's time to get out of their way in Iraq so they can weed each other out of the gene pool.

    Then we should never kill any terrorist. Did you oppose Bin Ladin's killing?

    USA gave the guy who shot it down a medal.

    So you say Iran will honor the guy who did it and hand him a medal?

    As for your 2nd sentence. Would it shatter your worldview that not only Germans slaughtered innocent jews in that era?

    French, Ukrainians, Poles, Danes, Dutch, all participated. And yes even USA participated. You know who was big in Holocaust business? IBM who made the holerith machines and also DOW Chemical. :)

    Henry Ford also was a huge fan of the holocaust. After all he spend enormous amounts of money to Hitler. In Hitlers office in munich you could find a huge portrait of Henry Ford, who was his biggest supporter.



    And no, USA only admitetd it was a horrible mistake as Obama was president.

    While we're cowering before terrorists we should probably avoid using the term "Islamist", too. We wouldn't want to offend anyone's precious sensibilities.

    Yes.

    When America does it, even if it's an accident, we're lambasted.

    When Iran does it, "meh, these things happen".

    no one is defending Iran, the left is saying we do not want another 10+ year war

    why does that right want another 10+ year war?

    why doesn't everyone that wants war enlist and go to Iran

    the left loves our country and do not want to see us in another 10+ year war

    I am glad Trump did not enforce his red line - surprised though after all the attacks on Obama for doing the same

    Personally I couldn't care less, Iran probably wants the same as America on this one

    course it is sad how much we spent on these middle eastern wars, could have done so much good at home with that money

    So you think the US should dictate policy to the whole ME? That's what's been going on for 70 years with no one's permission......and it isn't working. Iran has not and does not dictate US policy. For the last 3 years there hasn't been any US foreign policy, just reaction to other policies.......oh, but make sure you undo whatever Obama did.

    Hysteria? Really?
    While campaigning Trump asked why we don't use nukes if we have them.
    Not hysteria, fact.
