    Iraq supposedly had nukes that were in range of many European cities. Didn't stop us from going in. :shrug:

    As I said before, if NK had resources worth exploiting, that situation would have been dealt with back in the Eisenhower administration, before three generations of people were shut off from the world.

    I don't recall anyone taking that claim seriously. At any rate it isn't like the U.S. or its allies gained control of oil or anything from invading Iraq.

    [This was a good quote from that link:

    Millions of people have left Syria in search of better economic prospects or relief from the ongoing civil war. As discussed in “When Is A Refugee Really A Migrant?” there are differences between different groups of people. For refugees, you frequently see entire families leaving and both men and women leaving. For migrants seeking work, different patterns emerge. In the case of the current migrant/refugee crisis, more than 70 percent are adult males, and only about 15 percent are children. It’s unclear why the demographics are so overwhelmingly adult and male, but it’s something journalists and policy makers should be interested in answering, particularly as they position the crisis as one affecting refugees.
