Where do these nuts come from? And to think they are the ones educating our children......Scary.

Arizona professor claims U.S. military 'greater threat' to peace than ISIS | Fox News
“It would not be a stretch to say that the United States is actually a greater threat to peace and stability in the region than ISIS — not least because U.S. policies in Iraq, Libya and Syria have largely paved the way for ISIS’ emergence as a major regional actor,” al-Gharbi wrote in the article titled, “How Much Moral High Ground Does the U.S. Have Over ISIS?”

He is absolutely, 100% correct.
The US invaded Iraq. The left. Just like every other invasion only this one turned around and bit you in the ass. The only problem is the rest of them world will now have to pay for it.
It is difficult to imagine that any serious academic would suggest that the U.S. military is a bigger threat to peace than an extremist movement that has carried out genocidal activity, enslaved women, etc. This kind of false equivocation serves no constructive purpose. It does, however, divert attention from the very real atrocities ISIS is carrying out on an almost daily basis.
The problem with having a huge military on hand is that it's too easy to use it. If instead the US had to mobilize every time it wanted to play policeman, including a draft and increase in taxes, the US would get involved in far fewer pointless squabbles.

America is FAR AND AWAY more of a threat to peace in the Middle East then ISIS...it's not even remotely close.
Who has killed more innocent civilians by about 100 to 1? Who has caused more destruction and made more people homeless (both directly and indirectly) by about 10000 to 1? Who has propped up more horrific regimes that have treated their citizens horribly?
America and her military.
Yeah, and the peace loving people of Japan were just minding their own business in 1941, when we declared war upon them.
I don't necessarily agree with DA60, but, hmm...not sure if non-sequitur, dumb argument, false analogy or all three.
Lets see some numbers backing these bogus claims. You have no idea the level of caution taken to spare civilian lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sometimes, these levels of caution have led to the death and dismemberment of US servicemen and women. Further, let's not forget that if Afghanis had not housed OBL we never would've gone there. Let's not forget that if we hadn't gone in to Iraq, ISIS would have control of sarin, vx, and mustard gas stockpiles. And yes, ISIS would exist regardless of whether we were in the ME or not. ISIS, as I've pointed out to other members of this board, is a group dissident of a long line of Islamic extremism that predates the US.America is FAR AND AWAY more of a threat to peace in the Middle East then ISIS...it's not even remotely close.

That was not a big problem. Just put a gutless ***** named Obama in charge and it will not only NOT be used for much, it will deteriorate at an alarming rate due to lack of training and infighting for funding.
Fighting evil and socialism is never a "pointless" struggle except to cowards and brain dead ****s who think we should spend money to provide luxuries to lazy dumbasses and that we should turn our back on human suffering that is not caused by the people suffering being lazy dumbasses.
