Due to the growing chaos in Iraq, there has been a recent push to re-start the nearly decade-long Iraq War. While President Obama has explicitly ruled out "boots on the ground", he is still considering airstrikes. Which will likely accomplish zilch on the ground except for pouring gasoline on a raging inferno. And then we will still be puzzled as to "why do they hate us"? SMH.
To Congress and Obama, please stay out of Iraq. Please don't keep propping up an autocratic regime over there that was actually the root cause for the recent political instability. And even if we did send in troops, the best it would do is provide temporary relief that will evaporate shortly after leaving. And clearly the USA is NOT in any position for another decade (or decades) of war. The time for war is in the past. Our own country is falling apart. And if you win the wars at home, there will be no fighting anymore.
