The drumbeat of save the Yazidis tore at our hearts. We Americans are suckers for that humanitarian save 'em impulse. As a neutralist, I want out of everywhere. I am usually immune to the heartstrings thingy, but in Iraq, my government screwed everything up. If we had left Saddam in power he would still be suppressing everything, including the genocide of minorities. So I am not immune to the we owe them thing.
This most recent kerfluffle has been a sham. Mosey on over to read Jason Ditz at Antiwar blog. His story, Yazidis Weren’t Stranded, Pentagon Looks for Other Missions
State Dept Tries to Credit US With Solving Phony Problem, has stiffened my neutralist resolve.
