Bit late for that. Your government has already made it clear where it stands and issued sanctions against a bunch of political leaders.Involved you are.
I don't see Obama ending his career with a war on his record, then he is no different then Bush. He ran on ending Iraq and Afghanistan on his tenure. He has done so, and Obama is afraid of Putin like an ant is afraid of a boot. I really don't see this as a war. Fox cant goat him all they want but its not his agenda to go to war with Russia.
in between student conferences today, I had a lively chat on the subject with an Uzbekistani math professor.
The highlights were "You are a very intelligent young man, so you should not be saying these stupid things" and "watch American movies, read history books, the CIA and NKVD are behind everything, it is a clash of empires, no mo-ralls, no international law, that is all stupid; it is not right or wrong, it is only interesting."

Yes, that sounds like a math professor to me.

Well, there was next to no truth behind that particular claim. Iraq under Saddam was not at all friendly to Islamist terrorists. Saudi Arabia would have been a much better target for invasion under that criterion.However the oft touted "no WMDs" issue is a little overblown, because as things have come to light about Saddam's own government and US informers within Saddam's inner circle, it's become apparent that Saddam himself believed that he had much more weapons of mass destruction than he actually had, and many in the Iraqi military were just as clueless as the US military regarding Iraq's arsenal.
Agreed, I however was talking about Afghanistan the disadvantage of juggling around two wars I suppose.
