• Weapons used by ISIS
    It seems that the terrorists are using weapons originally paid for by American taxpayers, but captured by terrorists or re-sold to them. What is our government doing about this situation?

  • What will the U.S. do if regional ground forces won't or don't stop the extremist invasion by ISI...
    Every move we make or don't make can lead to deepening the quagmire we created in Iraq and to increasing the national debt with no guarantee of success, whatever that might look like. It will make impossible demands on our tired volunteer forces and the families that try to support them. Many recent veterans are not getting the care they deserve. Our country's crumbling infrastructure needs billions of dollars for repairs. Before the United States engages in further military action, I want you to answer my question.

  • Questions that must be answered before we launch another war in the Middle East.
    Before we go to war we should know why we are going, and what the costs will be in lives and money. We invaded Iraq ten years ago because there were supposed to be "Weapons of Mass Destruction" in Iraq. There were none. 4500 US Servicemembers have lost their lives. 32,000 have been wounded. The death toll for Iraquis is nearly half a million. The US debt is 17.9 trillion dollars. Meanwhile, defense contractors have made hundreds of billions of dollars. What will be the cost of more military intervention? Who will suffer and who will benefit?

  • Take Care of Home First!
    Americans need answers before we jump into another war without a clear reason or strategy. Government is by the People and for the People -- this has been lost with ego and power.

  • Stop buying oil from state sponsors of global terrorism
    The moral failures of American foreign policy and energy policy has once again brought us to war against an enemy of our own creation.

  • Stop destroying Syria by funding violent Syrian "rebels."
    I am Syrian-American. As a Syrian I don't want the US government destroying Syria by replacing a moderate, secular government with radical Islamists. My opinion is shared by every Syrian I know. As an American, I don't want my government spending one more dime creating and fighting foreign wars. I want my tax dollars to educate our children, care for our elderly, rebuild our infrastructure and economy, or be used in any other way that actually benefits the American people. Please sign my petition.

  • Before we start another war, we need to have some answers
    I believe that any time the US goes to war we need to know when it's over. Answering these questions will help determine if a war is the answer and, if so, how will we end our involvement.

  • Iraq and Syria: Humanitarian Considerations
    I agree with the President's decision to take out ISIS. I am concerned about the plans for the civilians and their well being. Also, I think that it is very important, here and abroad, to further emphasize that Islam is a peaceful religion.

  • Stop the Madness in the Middle East
    I am appalled that President Obama is engaging in more military action in Syria and Iraq. "Destroy ISIS" is not a goal; it's a slogan meant to stir up anti-Islamic sentiment in the U.S. We CANNOT destroy terrorism. If we kill every member of ISIS, a new band of thugs and executioners will replace them in a week. The Middle East conflict is an ideological "Holy War" in which the U.S. has no standing. America needs to use its limited resources here at home and stop the madness in the Middle East.

  • What is the Real Danger to American Soil?
    I understand the economic reasons we are involved int the Middle East, oil and the hugely profitable arms industry, but protecting the homeland from terrorist attacks or invasion seems a stretch. Our domestic security agencies are among the best in the world, and have always done an excellent job of preventing attack here. But invasion? We are separated by two oceans, and they don't even have rowboats.

  • To War or Not to War--Who pays?
    America is bankrupting itself. Americans are being maimed and killed fighting wars for other countries. Should we get involved in another war on our own? No! Wealthy countries in the Middle East need to take responsibility for the financial costs of defeating our common enemy, ISIS. Other countries' military should be on the ground fighting; America has sacrificed too many lives already. Ask your legislators if they think the USA should be going deeper and deeper into to debt over the Middle East.
