We are naive to think that any political or military strategy by the U.S. or any other country will fix the Islamic extremist. ISIS is just the name and face of the current version of the problem.
The root of violence and war go back to the days before Abraham. We aren't changing 5000 years of history with our agendas. We should not be involved over there. Israel is more than capable of defending itself.

Israel is the dead bodies of Palestinians built over American support

Edited by A Rising Wind: 11/16/2015 10:36:00 PMClaims of "ownership" between Jews and Palestinians goes back to the birth rights of Isaac and Ishmael. Both have "claimed" the area as theirs, and neither have been particularly willing to share it with the others. Israel is nothing more than the current iteration of a 5000 year power struggle between the two, and the blood they have both shed. Palestine is the current victim but they weren't any less vicious to Jews when they held the power in the past. So we can't conveniently forget palestines guilty past But yes, current Israel would not have existed without US support initially. They don't need us now. I don't think we should have been involved then or now

The policy of isolationism hasn't really worked for any world power in modern history. But yes, Israel is definitely capable. The problem with that is ISIS isn't only attacking Israel.

Agreed. But I would counter that the historical evidence says that achieving peace in the Mid East is even less successful than isolationism.
