    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

    As he should be.

    You have much to learn sonny.

    It's not a theory, it's now a proven fact that if we depose a dictator in the ME a power vacuum will be created that terrorist groups - whether that's al Qaeda, the Taliban, ISIS, or some other group - will swoop in to fill it.

    Then how about you put your superior knowledge out there for once and educate him, instead of constantly pontificating about the stupid children.

    Provide something valuable that contributes to discussion.
