I think declaring a no fly zone over foreign soil is tantamount to an act of war.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Missile strikes - or any other such action - against a sovereign nation is an act of war.
There's no excuse for skimping on national defense when the country is at war.
And it says something about our level of disassociation, that we can provoke these wars abroad but we're not allowed to see people get killed as a result.
The Kurdish people welcome the no-fly zone protection, contrary to the Iraqi regime that is against it.
In Syria, a no-fly zone targeted at Assad's air force and safe zones for refugees fleeing the fighting would help tamp down the death toll that plays into the hands of ISIS and other Sunni militants who can position themselves as the only groups that are really defending the Sunni population.
War zones are dangerous, protests can be violent, also, natural disasters are difficult to cover, so there are going to be risks.
New terms used like, 'overseas contingency operation' instead of the word 'war' - that reflects a worldview that is out of touch with the enemy that we face. We can't spin our way out of this threat.
War is just a racket... I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else.
The constitution vests the power of declaring war in Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the subject and authorized such a measure.
You can do a no-fly zone without ground forces.
