Good reason not to have taken out Saddam Hussein, Col. Gadfly, and the Taliban. Before toppling a dictator, make sure that what follows is not worse! IS is definitely worse.
Democrats always have this pipe dream that a people will rise up and force Democracy. That self-rule is in the DNA of humans. Well, not exactly.

Time and again, Presidents have taken out dictators, thinking "great, the people are now free to chart their own destiny!" Problem is, they just tend to hang out until the next strongman comes along.

I am worried, indeed.
Trump lost great deal of respect in my eyes when he had Affganistan bombed thinking he was bombing Iraq, I mean Syria. Or was it Lybia?

And he did over a chocolate cake. I remembered Walher Mathau's story when he had undicovered heart attack-->
"I had lamb chops, salad merlot wine and chocolate souffle with cognac and cigar that evening. I never ordered the same in my life!"

Well, I think I won't be eating chocolate cakes for a while, and I will stick with pancakes with cream and fruit.

The point is that Trump repeated the same mistake Bush jr. and Tony Blair did with Iran. I mean Iraq. Or was it Jordan? I mean, he bought "facts" about use of chemical weapon from al/Assad jr. although it smelled so much on fabrication. Not that al/Assad is an angel, but that was in his interest, now that USA and Russia made a loose coalition over there. The same bullshiiiit as before. And over a chocolate cake. Or was it a souffle?

I mean, Syria is spelling very much alike Serbia.
What if Trump gets an idea over let's say chocolate pudding, what do I know, called "Black man in a shirt - pudding" and mistakes Serbia for Syria?
I am having enough trouble as it is with my new neighbours refurbishing their apartment in my building, and now - bang bomb!

Is Pence really less easy on the trigger?

It Looks like the bookmakers see that Trump won't finish his tenure.

And the chaos would not stop there, it would effect the whole world just as it is starting to now.

A law Professor is arguing that an "obstruction of justice" case against Trump would be a "Slum dunk":

Seems like he's "killing" himself. Trump to his "Doctors/Constitutional experts"..."Can I pardon myself?...just saying."
