As much as I try no to, I cannot ignore the masses of refugees literally washing ashore Europe. I don't know what we could have or can do. Boots on the ground to smash ISIS? Support or remove Assad?

I know that because of the massive loss of life and billions of dollars thanks to Cheney and Bush, the "American public has no stomach to send troops."

And I am not even talking about the Taliban taking over Afghanistan after our quick gain there.

I don't know how much "stomach" there was to send troops to Europe during WWII, but I am glad we did, the whole world was better after that.
