I think the solution lies with the muslim world. We're not getting the
kind of help or leadership from any of the Muslim countries that we
need.

You're absolutely right about that. Pakistan is arguably one of the
more advanced Muslim countries and they're still stoning people to
death for blasphemy.

So what? Why do we care what they do in their own country? There are
plenty of western europeans who think we are barbarians too.

I have to chuckle sometimes Greg but your comment (above) is why your
Libertarian Party candidates will never stand a chance of being POTUS.

Most people are horrified to see a woman being buried up to her neck in
dirt and then stoned to death by her community ... often including her
husband ... for suspicion of having an adulterous affair or making a
blasphemous statement of Islam.

Even Rand Paul, technically a Republican but with very strong
Libertarian views, has a softer heart than that.

I am as horrified as I am when the savages in Africa do similar things
to their people but I would not risk my kid's life to stop them ...
and evidently that view is shared by most Americans vis a vis Africa.

3d world people have different values and bombing them does not seem
to change that.

I would not be at all against taking action in Africa similar to what we are doing in Syria. And, in
some cases I would be agreeable to inserting troops - SEALs or whatever. Leaving the problems to the
UN 'peacekeepers' seems to be causing even more trouble.
