I feel we did more than our fair share in Iraq already, let them kill each other, there just isn't enough respect for human life or collective intelligence in that entire region

Made.....?

No.

Delayed......

Yes.

Let what has been scripted complete its course.

Can man hold back the tide....?

No.

It's been foretold, as the tides have been predicted.
It is nothing but folly and mans over self absorption of himself that believes otherwise.

The driving factor is ingrained so deeply only one outcome is possible I am afraid.

I pray we don't delay the inevitable.

Try to think of it this way, perhaps an understanding is more forthcoming.
You have a dear one, someone very close to you. They are bent on destruction to themselves through an addiction.
They can not grasp the truth or gravity of what you tell them.
You try and try to the point of enabling them....
What can you do?

You let them go.

You give them an ultimatum and draw the line.

It's up to them now.

They change or they die, the choice is not yours to make.

It is harsh, it hurts, and all the wishing otherwise won't ever change that.

You hope and pray, and you must go on.

Anything less is surrendering to an evilness that has entered our world. It will destroy all it can in your life if you let it....
Now that is your choice.

Let the middle east go on its own.
It is something only they can settle.

It is akin to what Malcolm X remarked about the problems the Black community experience.......
They have to fix it themselves, ain't nothing the white man can do (to appease his/the guilt).
