There are times when the leaders we elect should go by polling data and there are times when we should let our leaders lead--there was a reason we voted for her or him after all, wasn't there?
This, to me, isn't one of those times. We spent, and wasted, 12 years fighting an unwinnable war in Iraq with partners that couldn't give two shits about our interest. We shouldn't do it again.
And now the President wants to use limited air-strikes. I can get behind that but it's not going to do any thing permanent to stop this problem. If it can't be done with drones or missiles, I don't think we should be doing it...no American soldier's lives on the line anywhere in the ME. As for civilians and reporters...they know the risks involved of being there.
