The only precedent that should be set is that it is a middle east issue and should be solved by the nations in that region. Or only red line should be when a nation's actions are a threat to US lives or national security. We need to stop being the world police. We aren't that good at it and its a thankless job.

Why Victor....... how mighty "un-Republican" of you.

I don't see how it is any of our concern in the first place but more importantly we haven't exactly done a bang up job in the past. The joke would be this president getting us into a quagmire in the ME just like the last one.

I vote straight Libertarian and have since 2004. That being said waging war in the middle east has proven to be the one area the Dems and GOP can find some bipartisan harmony. People just like their own war mongerer.
