The Catholics had been in America since the 1500's, what alien religion are you talking about. Go read the lyrics to The Famine Song. At the turn of the century the predominant group of migrant farm workers were German and Irish.

Meanwhile Iran holds democratic elections; http://www.reuters.com/article/us-iran-election-idUSKCN18E2Y8 Saudi, not so much.

With Trump inking a deal on 350 billion dollars worth of arms [with SA] , what are the chances we will see an escalation of ISIS activity's?

Now we are shooting down Syrian aircraft while they are engaged trying to take out ISIS? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-06-18/us-led-coalition-shoots-down-syrian-warplane

Poor Syrian pilots can't even attack the enemy of the west without us shooting them down. This is really FUBAR'd.

The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW

That should cut back recruitment quite a bit. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

I'm not sure what you mean? This is from the link, "The US-led, so-called anti-terrorist, coalition has reportedly shot down a Syrian government forces aircraft. Reuters reports the Syrian Arab Army announced that the aircraft was brought down in the southern Raqqa countryside, while it was engaging a fleeing ISIS convoy. The pilot remains missing."

Well I admit I didn't read that far down. I read the part that said the Syrian plane was attcking rebel forces that were fighting ISIS. So if you choose to believe the Syrian government and not believe US CENTCOM, I guess you're right.

I know little about the incident other than what I read in the link that you provided. It appears that the Us position is that the Syrian jet was attacking the Syrian Democratic Forces, a secular group of Kurds and Arabs. I do not know if they are who they claim to be, but they seem to be opposed to ISIS.
