This is getting uglier than a dead beaver.
Here we are fighting ISIS in Iraq an admirable mission considering they murdered entire villages for not converting to their way of thinking. The irony in all this is that by doing so we are doing the will of Syrian leader Assad as well as the wishes of the Iranian leadership. While Assad may be pleased that we are doing much of his dirty work for him by thinning the ranks of ISIS in Iraq, it's doubtful he'd be pleased to have the U.S. enter his airspace. And what of the innocents caught in the crossfire where three armies to clash in northern Syria?
According to the latest reports it's ISIS's plan to create an islamic state covering Syria, Iraq. Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, and Israel. So here we go again. Due to the failed idea of invading Iraq in the first place and the fact that we shut out the Sunnis from the governmental process (we did dissolve Iraq's military after Saddam was overthrown) we have created the perfect power vacuum ripe for an upswing of radicals. Maliki was no help when he effectively shut out the Sunnis as well. Remember there was no Al Qaeda in Iraq until we got there. That has somehow morphed into something worse. Also need to remember that we pretty much created Al Qaeda when we trained the Mujahideen to fight the Russians back in the 80s.
Meanwhile back here in the U.S police continue to shoot unarmed black men. Put your hands up and they shoot you anyway. All the while not one banker has seen the inside of a jail unless it was one he built to house the less fortunate at a pretty profit.

Thank you for your article.
"Small, but beautifully formed."
The veneer of the charade is getting scratched and more people are seeing what lies beneath.
Closer to home, I didn't do as well at the shooting match as I had hoped to.
Back in late 2002 or early 2003 there was a graphic of what might happen in the ME if Bush invaded Iraq and over threw Saddam. Sort of a worst case scenario. Today looks pretty much like that prediction. Not only should there be an IQ test to vote but also to run for office.
go buy some breyers pralines and cream frozen desert. if that doesn't pick up your spirits, nothing will.
It must be expensive living in the big city, maybe you should get out of it.
