You guys do realize that this is a no win situation. We can't police everything. Let them figure it out themselves. Maybe one day they'll realize that their religion isn't the only thing worth living for.
So the UN Security Council has an emergency meeting.......

Either this isn't your best effort, or you are adding further proof to my point about this Board is in its death spiral.
It's like we're just paving over the "red line" bit. Weakness remains provocative as much in 2013 as it was in 1999.
I don't want to referee every turf war in Asscrackistan....but are we seriously discussing a "Let's spray poison gas on kids" threshold? Why isn't our leadership halfway up the Kremlin's ass on this one with a WTF?

I disagree with you
so we should do what, exactly?
Why can't it be both not my best effort AND adding further proof?

What makes spraying poisonous gas any worse than shelling civilians with anti-aircraft ballistics? If we actually gave a shit we would of intervened two years ago. Now its essentially Assad vs. Al Queda wannabe fuck faces. Let them sort it out themselves. Sucks to be a 5 year old there, but really it sucks to be a 5 year old in a lot of places on this planet.

And how, exactly, do you know that we aren't doing that right now? Given how letting things play out in public (a la Bengazi) opens the administration up to criticism, I wouldn't be shocked at all to see them play things very close to the vest from now on.

... any chance you were slightly over-estimating the usefulness of the Politics board?

Do they have oil?
Sounds like the first question on the 'Pub "Should we go to war?" flow chart.

I can tell you that you don't draw a red line, then watch people cross over it, and then move the line back some more. Whatever we do we should probably be consistent with our word.
'Don't cross this line or else!...oh wait, you just crossed it...let me move the line a little bit....now don't cross this line or else!'

I disagree with you
yeah, so we already did that. what should we do NOW, though?
Nothing to do, so just keep spying on our own here at home.
ImTheCaptain
I disagree with you
so, pubs have no good solutions, either. got it.
The only thing the two parties have been able to agree upon and move forward with is spying on our own citizens. There will be no foreign policy agreements in the near future unless someone directly attacks us and then the agreement will be short lived.

We (sort of temporarily) "solved" Afghanistan and Iraq. How about we let the French and British take this one. They were the ones that drew the *#$#ed up national boundaries and set up the @#%#ed up tinpot regimes in the Middle East after WWI.
