OT? A New Cold War

[Webstral]

I think we can all agree that ISIS are bad people. Their badness does not lend itself to any solutions. However impassioned our pleas for intervention, the American people do not support another war in the Middle East. I’m not going back. I’m not going to support a plan to send American troops in with yet another quarter-baked scheme with “Hope for the best” underlined twice and highlighted in the mission statement. The American public cares about the victims of ISIS about as much as we care about any bloodletting in the media, which is to say that we care just enough to cry, “That’s awful” before getting back to the business of life. It’s shameful, but it underscores the absolute futility of getting involved without real commitment.
