Flag, I don't care about guns. :p I'm completely agnostic on the 2nd Amendment. If I listed my top 100 issues it wouldn't be among them.

Though it's funny you should say that, because another thing these Central and Eastern European skinheads are into is homophobia. Your average Ruthenian makes Fred Phelps look like Dan Savage.

Is it true homophobia or a calculated move to vacuum the bread crumbs leading back to their closet?

So now we have another front going in Libya. American planes bombing ISIS targets. That should work out well. So is this Bushs fault also?

If a unilateral invasion resulting in 100+ thousand casualties caused enough extremism and the same invasion created a power vacuum by which that extremism could root and grow into an terrorist organization with a global reach...then yeah, he played a pretty big role.

And **** the Mongols for the siege of Baghdad in 1258 too!

(only somewhat joking...there's something to be said for all of the modern middle eastern issues leading back to the Mongols completely destroying the very advanced Islamic culture present at the time of that invasion)

yeah Hilary and Arab Spring had nothing to do with it. At least we know nothing will change when she gets into office. The neocons will still rule.

Is an airstrike on an ISIS target in Libya a secret or surprise? I mean, it's not as extreme as a Reagan policy of using covert military and economic means to overthrow a foreign government is it?

I find history, and more specifically, this type of historical topic extremely intriguing. Basically, what would the world look like, had the Khans not sacked Baghdad? It is obvious that the world would be a completely different place had it not happened, given how advanced the culture was at the time. Compared to what its like now, in many ways it still has never fully recovered. Also, on the topic of the Mongols, what would the world look like had Batu Khan advanced to Vienna in 1241, after defeating the most formidable army in all of Europe, instead of retreating and returning to Mongolia following Ogedei's death?
