Do you agree with the Obama administration that ISIS is an "imminent threat"?

95. I'm 100% for peace, too, but I don't take it to the extreme.

Much like the president, I'm not 100% against all wars. I'm 100% against stupid wars.

I have to come to terms with the fact that past leaders and policies have messed up royally in some countries. Generations of aggrieved people continue to fight to this day because of those disastrous policies that have benefited some but mostly impoverished the majority of people in the world.

Those policies created a world for them that leaves them hungry, sick, angry, unemployed, and volatile. It bred hopelessness and desperation and made them vulnerable to charismatic militant propagandists for groups like al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and ISIL. This , in turn, creates the necessity for military intervention in order to crush them before they grow too strong and get to the point that they can't be contained unless we launch a full-out war. I'd rather not see the latter happen again if it can be avoided.
