The sad truth is that the world does rely on this nations leadership, except we no longer have leadership. Elections are taking precedent over national security which in my view is criminal
If the USA does not take the lead many opportunities for defeating this cancer will be lost. Americans were once war weary but they are becoming more and more war wary given aggressions around the world American leadership needs to step up and secure commitment from our allied nations and those finding themselves in the cross fire.
Those claiming that we should not be making the same mistakes are
mistaken. We need aggressive action because our national safety is at risk from all kind of attacks including cyber attacks

Your post is right on. If the United States does not lead in this war, nobody will.
Listen, Britian...our staunch ally will not commit to bombing (that may change with the recent beheading).
For a few years, this infiltration has been taking place and we have turned our back, and did it openly. Certainly saw nobody stand up and give leadership. This threat is NOT simply in Iraq, Syria etc. Check what is happening in Turkey, Libya, etc.
And you are correct...we have had cyber attacks....these are simply test cases and we just shrug this off and talk about how war weary we are. There was a post recently from someone visiting Israel, who sort of questioned that phrase...war weary...as she looked around a country who is bombed pretty much on a regular basis.
I believe this is a serious situation....one that requires congressional discussion and agreement by the way.....and I talk a lot about border security. This is not a political game.....the enemy is attempting to defeat us NOT with armed warfare as we know traditionally, but by "infiltrating" us......and they know our borders...they know about all the borders in the middle east. NOW is not the time to be ignoring border security.
If anyone feels the next comment is political, I apologize. We are far behind in this war. We have ignored our own laws relating to the border. We have ignored the governors of those states asking for help. We have ignored Syria for at least two years despite our national security advisors saying we cannot along with the military. I do not know why, but I do know that now is the time to act. I hope we act ACCORDINGLY.
