Peter, donttread, and Ethereal already provided us this lesson, MisterV. Those three would lecture to no end that any outcomes in Syria weren't in our vital national interests. Ethereal and Peter droning on about ISIS being no threat, donttread's nickname for the Islamic State was Boogeymen.....nonexistent made up by westerners mumbo jumbo. I remember donttread asking me not one month prior to the PAris attacks what possible threat ISIS could be against us. He's never ever asked that again. Not after those horrific attacks, donttread pretty much had to shut up. Eat his crow.
