WAR HAWKS

It seems like the traditional war hawks are at it again.  Senators like Lindsay Graham and John McCain are beating the drums of war again.  While the crisis in Syria is terrible we do  not need to be in another unpaid war.  Nor do we need to be sending troops to that country. We still have troops in Afghanistan.  Look at the mess Iraq is after we have basically destroyed that country.    Let's not kid ourselves.  There are some situations that we cannot solve.  We are not the world police.
We should be trying every possibility to avoid having our troops on the the ground.  Haven't we lost enough young men and women in combat.  Why should we want to try again?  We should be working with the United Nations and NATO to be sure that we are not in this alone.
We have enough problems right here at home that need to be dealt with but where are our elected officials?  Home on vacation AGAIN!
People it is time to speak up and try and prevent another armed conflict.
