Why not? They live there.

Not our problem.

Nope. Americans should leave if they don't want their heads cut off.

We shouldn't spend taxpayer money to bomb anyone in Yemen.

Unfortunately, many of these Muslim majority societies are not ready for democracy. Just ask Embassy Marines who have done security duty in Yemen and in Denmark. Denmark is a beautiful example of western civilization, Yemen is the total opposite, (just look at the way they treat each other, their own people)

It is about time that we take our troops home.
"Unfortunately?"

When did they ever say they wanted it?

Yes !!

And put those troops on our border with a NEW president in 2016.

I would concur with this solution providing all immigration to America from this region was halted.

Obama didn't start the civil war in Syria and you're a clueless moron if you believe that. There's no way that Obama could somehow organize mass protests among Syrian citizens and the Assad regime's violent response that sparked a mass uprising.

He could start it far quicker than a Youtube video in Libya. The problem in Syria is Obama (and McCain and Graham) wanted to arm Isis before they had any clue who the players were.

In the end the arms coming out of Libya probably did.

This post shows an amazing amount of naiveté for the citizen of a country that has performed just that feat of legerdemain as recent as Libya.

Did what? The uprising in Libya started at the same time as the uprising in Syria started around February-March 2011. Defecting Syrian army troops provided the initial manpower and arms for the rebels in 2011. ISIS was small potatoes and hardly involved until a couple years into the Syrian Civil War.
