Well, the US isn't going to end their involvement in the ME any time soon. The US has been involved for the last 63+ years starting with Iran and operation Ajax that Eisenhower gave the ok on to depose a democratically elected leader, along with the help of the Brits, resulting in the eventual installing of the US puppet Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, as the head of state once more, until he was driven out in '79! The Persians have LONG memories, and if they can hold memories of a 1300+ year blood feud, 38 years is nothing for a grudge against the US!Let me get this right! You're claiming an ultra conservative "monotheist" Sunni Muslim terrorist organization that slaughters Shi'a Muslims on sight has handed over American hostages to the Iranians who are predominately "polytheist" Shi'a, and who have been at each other's throats for over 1300 years???? Someone slipped you a "mickey" in that last shit sundae you slurped up, or you just make shit up to display your blatant ignorance to get attention!ISIS probably handed them over to Iran.So they already have American hostages?!?
That's incredible. I didn't know that!
I thought there were no American hostages in Iran!
Most Americans are just dumbed-down hicks when it comes to global affairs. They have no idea what a 'Sunni' or 'Shiite' is. All they know is, they need to support Permanent War. It's what years and years of American Government/Corporate Media propaganda does to most people. They have no idea that their own Government has been funding and arming brutal Islamic Terrorist groups for many years. Just about all current Sunni Terrorist groups have ties to the US. The last two ISIS leaders are well known to have been trained by the US. It goes back as far as helping Bin Laden's gang in Afghanistan.
If anything, we need to start distancing ourselves from evil countries like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. It's Saudi radical Wahhabi teachings that has created horrific gangs like Al Qaeda and ISIS. We should get out of Syria and allow the Russians, Syrians, and Iranians to wipe ISIS out. But in the end, it doesn't matter. Americans really are uninformed rubes for the most part. As long as they can keep on stuffing their fat faces, shopping till the drop at the Walmart, watching their porn, sports, and reality tv, they're content. They'll support any insanity their Government pushes. They'll continue on supporting endless war. Sadly, it is what it is.
Excellent observations. Most Americans really are uninformed rubes when it comes to global affairs. Their Government/Corporate Media works tirelessly to keep em dumbed-down and ignorant. We need to disengage from the Middle East. We've done enough damage over there.
How much more blood & treasure needs to be spent over there? Time to come home. But is that gonna happen anytime soon? I have to agree with you, it ain't gonna happen. Permanent War is what the Globalist Elites want. Nothing's gonna change that.
