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

Fortunately, I am personally very pleased that the US is taking the lead and that we are not making the same mistakes we have made in the past. Why would we want to be in the same position now in 5 years after having thousands of Americans dead and more billions spent. I believe a root cause analysis of the problems in the Middle East is needed. Bombs and bullets have been a very short term fix for which it is readily apparent to be a long term problem. Who do you side with or wish to destroy, the Sunnis, Shiites, ISIS, Assad, Syrian rebels, Al Quad-ea or the next terrorist group? Europe fought wars for ages and finally they have peace and open borders even though they spoke different languages and have different cultures. One would hope the Arab nations could use that as a template for peace.
