AMERICAN HOSTAGES

Nobody feels worse over this dilemma of captured hostages than me. First of all, there is no winning against Isis. They are not a country, rather a bunch of terrorists. All the bombing will not do it, and even if there was some idea that you could wipe them out, they would just rise again. There's some responsibility that the hostages have to accept. Those who go to a Wild West place like the Mideast put themselves in harm's way. Nobody forced them to go. They are noble and have done noble work but it is at a risk. Let's admit it. 

This isn't callous just smart. When you involve yourself with fanatics, any possibility exist. If it were up to me, I would get the hell out of the Mideast. It is a fast road to nowhere. We are f..king crazy. Untenable position? Tell me what we are now doing makes sense or is working. Bullshit.
