It more and more appears that the best course of action is to prop up Assad. We are desperately looking for “boots on the ground” but don’t see couple of hundred thousands of them right before our eyes. It makes no sense to remove Assad at this point.
Assad, like his daddy, is a Ba'athist butcher with no conscience …
But … Back when this vicious civil war began to unwind toward its present tragedy, Assad was already insisting that his opponents were "terrorists" …
Tell me this. As an environmentalist that I am sure you are, do you put on your boots and go to superfund sites to personally clean up the environment? If I am for fighting crime, do I have to join the police department? How about fire? If I can't personally fight fires then I have to let fires burn everywhere?
Ironically, the anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant refugee xenophobes are on the side of ISIS, falling neatly into their trap ...
You are exactly right, their goal is global jihad and we are playing right into their hand...19 Governors refusing to accept Syrian immigrants, Ted Cruz introducing legislation to stop all immigration from "high risk countries" just exactly what these crazies hoped would happen. I wonder how long it will be before some fine patriotic citizen starts shooting Sikhs because they can't tell them from Isis
As much as you have tried to curry favor with Islam doesn’t seem like it has bought you anything. Look what happened in Paris. Those ISIS guys don’t need you to defend Islam. They know what it is and aren’t asking for clarifications.
My congressional representative is a Muslim and is a friend of mine … I campaign for him ...
Many of my neighbors are Muslims …
My neighbor just across the street and one house down is a Tibetan Buddhist whose daughter once took part in a greeting ceremony for His Holiness The Dalai Lama (does that mean I "curry favor with Tibetan Buddhists" … ???)
What are you going on about (than which) … ???
(I favor peaceful relations with all fellow creatures in so far as it depends upon me …)

Since you support Keith Ellison and even campaign for him, it is not surprising then that you likely coordinate online activities with the likes of CAIR! CAIR has supported Ellison (not to mention HAMAS)!
I think we should encourage some of those thousands and thousands of able bodied young male "refugees" to fight for their own country before we send our young men and women to do so.

But hey, that's just me.
What country? Their own government is killing citizens with Sarin gas, how do you expect them to fight back against that? I don't think there's any doubt they are actually refugees, not pretend ones.

If someone is going to go fight in Syria, let it be able bodied Syrians before Americans.
Many probably most of the Syrians in America are Americans.
I'm not talking about Americans of Syrian ancestry. Those people are called (wait for it!) - AMERICANS.
I'm saying that it's pretty ironic and ridiculous to send Americans into combat situations in Syria when the world is being flooded by able bodied, healthy young men and women from that very same country who should be just as willing and able to learn the art of combat as Americans of the same age.
