    So the one that create the mess is pardoned and forgotten once he leaves office? Do you really want to go that route?

    Jewish pirates - Wikipedia
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_pirates
    Jewish pirates were those seafaring Jewish people who engaged in piracy. While there is some mention of the phenomenon in antiquity, especially during the Hasmonean period, most Jewish pirates were Sephardim who operated in the years following the Alhambra Decree ordering the expulsion of Iberia's Jews. Upon fleeing Spain and Portugal, some of these Jews became pirates and turned to attacking the Catholic Empire's shipping as both barbary corsairs …

    They went to fight PIRATES.

    1. Jewish Pirates That Punished the Spanish and Portuguese
      https://israelrising.com/jewish-pirates-that-punished-the-spanish-and-portuguese
      Moses Cohen Henriques      , perhaps the most famous Jewish pirate in history, eventually went on to establish his own pirate island off the coast of Brazil.

    2. Jewish Pirates - jewishwikipedia.info
      www.jewishwikipedia.info/jewish_pirates.html
      From Wikipedia He was a Barbary corsair and Jewish pirate who sailed under famed Ottoman admiral Hayreddin Barbarossa. Born to a Sephardic Jewish family which fled Spain and possibly relocated to the then Ottoman ruled Smyrna, Sinan sailed as a Barbary corsair, a type of privateer or pirate, under the Ottoman flag.

    Pardoned, as in excused. This is what you're attempting to do presently in regard to Obama. You want us to disregard the mess he's done in the ME and blame the guy trying to get the USA out of that mess.

    With the changing demographics in America today, the days of America being the world policemen are coming to an end.

    Britania no longer rules the seas so they can't do the job.

    There you go, aren't you regretful that the armed forces are overseas stimulating the economy instead of back at home doing what you suggest in this post?

    The US is not the worlds police force. It acts in its own aggressive self interest and always has. Just in the post-war era, it has interfered in the political process of dozens even close to a hundred nations in Europe and the Middle East, overthrown democratically elected leaders it did not like and waged wars of intervention over resources - propping up some of the most ruthless and bloody dictators in the post-war era.

    You have over 800 military bases surrounding and destabilizing border nations around the former Soviet Union and China. AS a form of economic warfare, you have sanctions or tariffs on almost every nation in the world.

    The US is the worlds declining hegemon and is considered in numerous polls including Gallup to be the biggest threat to world:

    1. United States

    As the world's sometimes eager, sometimes reluctant policeman, the United States has long been the target of widespread animosity, particularly in the Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan and Pakistan, where US military intervention has been felt most strongly in the past couple of decades.

    It's not surprising then that those polled in some of these areas rated America such a dangerous threat.

    The survey showed that America would find it hard to make friends in eastern Europe as well. Even Americans — 13 percent of them — saw their own country as a threat to world peace.

    America's protracted wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, its vast surveillance program, its use of drones in Pakistan and Yemen, its war on terror and its war on drugs are all likely contributing to its peace-less reputation.

    Why isn't NATO doing anything? Why do you think we should be the world police force?
