The current situation sucks & if the current actors can't fix it, it's time for a new direction.
Completely false. There was no unsc resolution legitimating a preemptive attack on Iraq.

So Putin found his Afghanistan.
He is going to prop up a dictator, expend his own combat troops and equipment.
Where was his Security Council Resolution procedure?
When the US looks sideways at some country everyone throws a tantrum if the US doesn't follow the rules. Putin gets a free pass as usual.
That's rich. The world did NOTHING while America raped the oil bearing countries. Hindsight should be 50/50..... not completely blind.
Nope.
The US had UN resolution upon UN resolution starting before the first gulf war all the way through the occupation of Iraq.
When the US had to get rid of their former propped up dictator, it was by the books and Russia got a vote on the Security Council every step of the way.
Now that Russia has to deal with their propped up dictator for behaving badly, they get carte blanche? Pathetic set of circumstances that is anything but the same procedure. All backroom handshakes with our traitor in chief sending Mr Swiftboat himself to bow down to Putin.

Moreover, never has one existed EVER via the security council. For anyone.
The UN Charter explicitly outlaws preemptive attacks AND unilateral aggression by any one country. The US acted as an aggressor, illegally invading and regime changing Iraq. Much of the UN Charter is explicitly aimed at stopping actions exactly like the War in Iraq.
Anybody actually educated on UN law and protocol knows this.... I studied with SC officials. I studied all of relevant UN issues to this.
But please, by all means put your head in the sand and continue to play apologist for war crimes and evil.

Of course I understand every bit of what you said as it is common knowledge.

Yes it's time for a new direction. Isis has to die, it's the only way to stop these (I can't think of a word bad enough to describe them anymore). Maybe Mohammad's minions straight from hell might be befitting.
Why don't you go over there and talk to them? That's very sweet.

I honestly see nothing wrong with this, Isis needs to be destroyed period end of story.
I don't disagree but Israel has been providing air-strike support for ISIS so this has the potential of expanding into a greater war very quickly.
There was no unsc resolution ahead of the attack allowing the U.S. to attack. I want to inform you that just because a country is alleged to violate a UN mandate or other international agreement, does NOT mean another country or coalition gets to play God and attack based on that. There has to be another Chapter VII resolution authorizing force. That was not there. My original points still stand correct. The U.S. has no right to unilateral action under international law, excepting in true self defense and under attack launched by the other country. The law is clear.

Maybe depends on how somebody looks at it.

There is quite a difference between the red line from Obama and his socalled proof for using chemicals in an attack by Assad and fight against the islamic extremists.
We should all be ashamed that we have allowed this massacre on the Syrian population.
If the US had its way, they would help IS just like their ally Turkey has been doing in the past weeks.
Accidentally all the bombs fell on kurds that are fighting against IS on the ground.
