We refuse to help Syrian town

The world, led by the United States, stands idly by as ISIS threatens slaughter in a Syrian town.

Air power cannot alone win a war but it can be effective if used properly and not just for show. In World War II over 200 planes bombed Tokyo one night and caused 100,000 deaths.  Japanese suicide attacks at Okinawa caused so many American casualties people back home in the United States criticized our military leaders.   Those heavy losses helped convince Truman to drop the atom bomb.

Sending over one plane to destroy a truck is disgraceful when 200 planes each destroying a moving vehicle would have great effect, as would fighter planes from our carriers strafing ISIS troops.
