IS won’t be eradicated by US air strikes

The irony of the latest onslaught by the US government against IS in the Middle East is breath-taking.

IS won’t be eradicated by US air strikes

The US president talks about fighting evil and yet he sees no comparison in how innocent children are slaughtered every day by US drone strikes.

Yes, they use the killing of a journalist or an aid worker as a pretense to wage more war.

The president talks about the collation of arab countries, yet who could support some of these medieval theocracies who every day slaughter their own people, by stoning and hanging them? Or who deprive their people of their democratic rights because they are women? This is supported by many on the left who should know better.

Until such time as Palestine is given back to its people, Iraq is at peace, or Syria is left alone, then these citizens will deal with IS as they see fit.

This war won’t end today or tomorrow.
