In reply to the discussion: I Support The Actions Described By President Obama Tonight, Ladies And Gentlemen [View all]politicman
(710 posts)I may not be articulating my point clearly but I believe that if someone has done something wrong in the past and wants to use his power for god when he can, then he should not choose which good to use it for.
Obama has the ability to help both the Yazidis and the Palestinians, YET he is deliberately choosing to only help the Yazidis and leaving the Palestinians on their own.
Even worse is that helping the Yazidis most likely will require airstrikes and Obama is willing to do that, BUT at the very same time he has the ability to help the Paletinians not through airstrikes but something much simpler, 'diplomatic pressure' and is deliberately refusing to do that.
So yeah, I don't agree that who does bad and then wants to turn around and only do one good when they are capable of doing 2 goods should be applauded.
