Somewhat off topic, but Bill Maher had a graphic showing something like 4.5 million troops in the armed forces of the Arab World, and he wondered why these Middle Eastern countries could not stop ISIS, a force of 20,000. The USA generally does not do well when it meddles. What it leaves behind is not really much of an improvement. What's startling is how few Americans realize this poor record. When we get pulled into something, the results can be different: WWII, Gulf War, and Yugoslavia. One thing that irritates me is how "Patriotic" Republicans claim to be -- and they also always say "We live in the Greatest Country in the World." ^^^ But neither of these two claims stops them from ALWAYS trying to undermine the President of United States (Health Care, Immigration, Needle Exchanges, and the IRAN Accord.) It's a little bit like praising your wife before treating her like a pinata.
