When is all this "no boots on the ground" nonsense gonna be set aside so we can go in there and blast these evil people to oblivion? I mean Al Qaeda was bad enough but ISIS is making them look like tame.

How about we *gasp* try just leaving them alone? The US has been busy fomenting discord in the Middle East for the past 50 years. We supported the foundation of the State of Israel (because clearly the Arabs should have to take the Jews we didn't want). Our other allies in the region, the Saudis, are busy financing ISIS and bombing hospitals and weddings in Yemen (while also chairing the UN human rights committee!). Our original ally, Saddam Hussein, was busy gassing the Kurds as we cheered him on in his war with Iraq. Then we have two direct wars in Iraq, one in Afghanistan, and proxy civil wars in Libya, Egypt, and now Syria. And during this whole time the US has been making a profit selling weapons. I'm not saying the Arabs have been blameless, but I hope you can start to understand why they talk about American imperialism.

I think Japan's analysis of IRYD is probably correct. He's not really a true troll like Tiggles, who gets off on others negative feelings. He's a self-hating liberal who gets off on being slapped around.
