Its not that simple, I can say that because I've personally experienced it. People would rather run then protect their stuff
Israel isn't IS though. I know they are killing people that are being used as shields but that has nothing to do with this post about Iraq. I think that in itself is America's problem, that it why I think they contradict themselves, but the Iraq problem is a place US has to come into place nonetheless.
When I pinpointed the UK plane I was trying to allow you to know that they are stepping in. The people on that mountain would not be laughing with you on this one I'd have to say. I guess the point of me posting here is, when the US spends money elsewhere no one bats an eye, but when they send help for innocent people who have shed many more tears than you could imagine, everyone loses an their minds. One of the reason Obama stepped in was because of the one woman crying the Iraq office. The video went viral (dunno if you saw it).
What your friend said is quite true. Like I said above, I have experienced these atrocities first hand where I was born, and let me tell you, its horrifying.
