Take a third (or even a tenth) of that and use that as incentive for all the world's scientists and other smart people to work on creating a better energy source. It would do a lot more to combat 'terror' than sending drones and bombs into Syria.
*Claps slowly while shaking head* For once i have seen someone who knows how to take responsibility- and who knows where said responsibility lies- for their country. Yes, the only reason the US EVER gets involved in anything involving wars in the east it is because of who in the end will have control over the oil reserves. If it means making allies with the ones who are getting their asses whooped as long as there is noticeably high amount of oil in that region. The only times we have ever gone into a war without that reason was when the US was (at 3 separate times in history) attacked on its home ground/territory. Even in the Holocaust the US tried to deny all ties with the war in Europe until sadly Japan (an ally of Germany) attacked Pearl Harbor thus making it a personal matter of the country. The same can kind of be said with the ISIS group as they killed US born citizens on Camera and went as far as to broadcast the extinctions on the Web, thus technically making it a US matter. The oil problem only adds to the flames seeing how some countries around that area are our Main suppliers of Oil and if ISIS takes over these areas the Oil shipments will cease or decrease greatly meaning chaos for big Oil users like the US.
Yes you are right in saying that this problem can be stopped by reinventing some of the nations technology to use, safer, more efficient sources of power. Many people like you and Me have answers buzzing around in our heads, but for most of us our voices mean little for we are: 'young' 'unexperenced' 'ignorant' kids who dont know better. really some of the solutions given to me by people younger than 20 are logically better than those given by professional politicians in the Government. If we had a better source of power for things in the US we wouldn't need to be involved in wars that concern the possible cease in oil shipments. We need to stop getting involved in shit that is at this moment no real threat to the US. The US itself has its own oil reserves underground that can be used if emergency struck, And there are other sources of power that have been invented but they are not in large enough supply to be a long term thing. I say while the going is good for us we should fix that problem and quickly turn our main power source focus to something easily obtainable in the US.
I know Obama doesnt want to send any more people back into the east but, I have no clue why it has been taking so long for these ISIS rag-tag group to be put down even without ground troops. any neighboring country with half a decent army could stomp them out like a flame if they wanted to but they seem to know how to mind their own, even when its heading for their front doorstep.
