The drum beat of war is loud today - when will we be greeted as liberators?

1. Erect bogeyman, wave flag, sound tough, send in the troops and cheerlead.

Works every time.

2. In a nutshell

3. Don't pay attention to warmongers.

I trust President Obama and he spoke out against boots on the ground.

I hope the allies make greater strides in cutting off daesh funding which will help a great deal.

However, the threats they are making to commit terrorist acts in the US and France (again) is on daesh.

You expect maybe the western powers and EU maybe turn the other cheek? Maybe we can be kinder and more helpful to poor misunderstood Daesh and put a bullseye on their targets so they won't miss? Be serious. In this case, if we go to war it will be justified. Daesh and they alone will be responsible for war.

There's a place for boots on the ground. Just not now. I'm sure if President Obama decides to send troops it will be justified. He's not dubya.

7. Having Obama in the White House is a source of serenity in

a crazy world. I don't expect him to always make choices that turn out to be the best ones, but I do know this current president is trying to be a force for peace, and with him, us.

8. So agree with you about Prez

He is a leader I'm proud of. No knee jerk reaction from him.

4. That's not a drumbeat-

That you hear, It's the hoard of stock brokers and hedge fund managers marching to work for the corporations making weapons and vehicles for the newest war for profit.
