Unless the Iraqi government shows some signs of being able to field a capable military, I think the question of US intervention is a no-brainer.

It is idiotic to do anything for a regime that will have 30,000 lose to 800.

At some point, we have to respect the right of people to make their own decisions. A whole bunch of them clearly decided they don’t want to fight for their country, for whatever set of reasons.

Why should we?
