I read most new posts in this group and I must confess that the absolute bias exhibited by many posters is appalling. Y'all cheerfully select which bits of history fit with your particular view and ignore the bits that do not. You have put me into some special pigeon hole of your own making and ignored anyting that I write which will not fit that pattern. You do not know me simply because you have no desire to know me. That is fine by me because I have no need of your acceptance or friendship. Tata

I'd rather see other people's young men bear this particular burden, those of countries that are much more directly threatened than we are by ISIS. In any case I'm dubious of generalship that advocates a tactic that won't work, while shying away from alternatives that will, though insisting that destroying the enemy is an urgent and dire necessity.

I am glad you find yourself a clear-eyed student of history in a sea of selective, biased, and error-prone persons. Are you going to tell us our loyalty to Western values is suspect next?
