Iraq.
Radical Islamists are attacking the free world. I applaud that the United States is leading the struggle against this brand of terror. The world is catching on and realizing what a threat this is.
- By kidnapping our citizens and beheading them publicly.
- By directly threatening our Embassy and in-country diplomatic corps (direct assault on Baghdad/Green Zone)
- By taking control of resources (eg. oil) which could have huge negative repercussions on our domestic economy.
Of course, we won't need to get into the notions of ally defense as that doesn't seem to fit into the direct framework of your 'attack' and 'us' ploy.
Next question, please.

They're able to attack us because we're occupying their land

How many of us would they have killed if we weren't over there?
Still waiting on those death tolls.
That is there land? What about the majority moderate Muslims that don't want to be radicalized? Why are other Mulsim nations supporting us now?
That's a blatant falsehood.
I have no idea what either of these statements mean.

Are you kidding? So if some other country decided to occupy the US, you don't think some folks in this country would do something about it?
We aren't occupying Iraq now.
We weren't occupying Iraq when ISIL began to make a name for itself.
Would they be occupying the land because we were too pussy to do anything about a radicalized minority within our nation attacking others?

The end of your pedantic line of questioning ... or rather, your point.
I get that you are non-interventionist, but this isn't Kosovo or Darfur.
I still can't understand the fact that they will kill sturg if they had the chance,They'd kill anyone of us, yet he doesn't seem to care about that and doesn't hold them accountable
To prove what; that innocents die in theaters of war?
???
Again, I don't understand where you are going with any of this.
