When they reach critical mass and we clearly designate them from embedded guerrillas, then we can help them because they are willing to be helped.
Do you have no idea what's going on in Iraq?
yeah, they are having the latest iteration of a string of terrorist groups.

Something absent pre 2003.
No, there's a large terrorist group committing genocide. It's not just a suicide bomb and a rocket here and there, ISIS is committing genocide against helpless victims as we type.

Iraq's political class has watched with fear and envy in the last fortnight as American jets have slowed the Islamic State extremist group's advance towards the Kurdish stronghold of Irbil.
At the same time, the group, formerly known as Isis, has been trying to encircle Baghdad – untroubled by air strikes. Its manoeuvres near the national capital in recent days have consolidated gains it has made in the last two tumultuous months and made the very existence of Iraq in its current borders ever more precarious.
But not against Americans. We have neither the manpower, resources, or the will to prevent every genocide that occurs around the world.
sadam was no better than hitler and that is part of the problem. the culture is so volatile that such tactics had to be used. just let the **** explode and the fuel burn itself out. once these people stop viewing their religion like 11th century europe did, they can join humanity and we can have business dealings, investments, and do other things that actually enrich their lives.
Iraq voices anger as US air force defends Irbil – but not Baghdad

while I support the use of air power, there are a lot of fronts on this war -including Syria itself. only so much we can do..
new Iraqi PM - so now what?
Our policy shouldn't facilitate genocide.
absolutely a fiasco -I write a sort of blog (c/p) of daily events, with some commentary in it about the continuing mess we left in Libya.Three years after Gaddafi, Libya is imploding into chaos and violence
World View: Its government has no real power; militias are ever more entrenched, and now the state itself is under threat.

Drawing lines in the ME hasn't been that good for America.

US policy is facilitating the drowning of the ME in sectarian violence. If I could make the period bigger, I would

we are supporting the Kurds, they seem to be doing most of the fighting.See this is good, because the kurdish state is fairly peaceful and have shown they can stabilize their own society (not perfectly, but they do pretty good). The rest of iraq needs to take this lesson.
(also, we should be supportive of them just taking their piece of land and forming a new country)

Hopefully they get Kurdistan out of this -Iraq is going to partition, i'm almost sure
But then again Maliki turned the Iraqi army into a sectarian militia....anyways..what about Baghdad ? kinna tough to sit back and let it get terrorized...
Is there another genocide taking place?
That depends on who one blames for 9/11
Take your pick, I suggest Somalia, because that worked out so well for us the first time...
Genocide Emergencies
was a lot of weapons diversion for sure. CIA still ( last I looked ) was training in Jordan - although with the refugees, it's hard to get data.The whole reason IS is the problem that they are now, is that they were strengthened in part by arms being sent into Syria by the US. So lets just further the problem along.
Did US Policy cause the Arab Spring?
