Trib demanding more US terrorism in Middle East

The Trib's editorial 'To stop attacks here, stop Islamic State there' is simply more criminal regime change that the Editorial Board has been promoting for 15 years. Your support of our criminal wars in Afghanistan and Iraq changed their regimes but turned both into failed states with hundreds of thousands dead, millions dispossessed, and trillions of US treasure squandered. Not satisfied with that madness you supported regime change in Libya, getting thousands killed, squandering billions and guess what, turning Libya into a failed state. Now the Trib is seeking a regime quadfecta, demanding we listen to 51 delusional diplomats calling for massive bombing of Syrian President Assad's regime to turn it over to forces likely to slaughter Syria's Christian, secular and Shi'ite citizens only alive due to the protection of the elected Syrian president. Our funding anti Assad groups in 2013 when a truce was at hand, simply because we felt Assad was about to fall, squandered a chance to achieve peace then. 

The Board simply mimics every warmongering, neocon group or individual using massacres thousands of miles from the US to demand more war. The only attacks here since 2001 have been US citizens inspired by our relentless bombing of innocents and suspected evildoers alike. Stop US bombing in the Middle East and you remove the most likely motivating factor for such home grown attacks. Your lust for war places us all in danger, including yourselves.  And don't blame the European refugee crisis on the President's 'restraint'. It's the result of 15 years of endless and needless killing to keep US weapons makers scrambling to fill the insatiable demand for WCD (weapons of civilian destruction). 

Your insincerity about getting tough with the Islamic State is breathtaking. Endless bombs only inspire endless recruits to their cause. Put your military age relatives where your pro war pixels are: demand a million man/women army, including them, to conquer the entire region. Anything short of that is simply more business for the war party.
