Why is it so hard for some to understand Obama’s policy in
the Middle East? Talking head after talking head, so-called experts, gets on TV
and tells us we cannot win in Iran trying to use a military solution, which is
why he is not putting boots on the ground. A few attack fighters and bombers is not
the same as an army. Why is it so hard to understand why President Obama
rejects the advice of general after general; there is not a living general who believes that war can only be all out war. They believe they can win any war given enough men and equipment—Powell calls it overwhelming
force. There seems not to be a single general, or talking head for that matter,
who understands that they cannot change the religious belief of 1.2 million
people by killing them at the end of a gun. We must teach them and that the only way there can be peace
is if they separate church from state; a lesson most of us learned just 250 years ago; some will never learn. The office of faith based initiatives in the Bush White House was an example. Obama is telling them by using aircraft,
he is giving them time to learn; however, they must do the hard “mind changing” work
themselves or live in constant turmoil killing off one another.
Another item I find irritating; why do they get on TV and
complain about not having direct discussion with ISIS. Why do they insist on
using the acronym of ISIS and not ISIL? ISIS is the name the beheading murderous
rebel use for their state that they would like us to believe exists and some do
by using the name they picked. In contrast, ISIL is the region. It is simple. Do
they not understand that ISIL is a transnational group of rebels and not a
sovereign nation? To have our president, the leaders of the free world, negotiate
with a group of rebels would give them status a group of bloodthirsty thugs
does not deserve; I would be like complaining about our president negotiating
with the Grand Wizard of the KKK.
