"There is no profit in fighting cave dwelling extremists who want to make sure girls don't go to school"
Unless you are making bullets, guns, body armor, etc. Never underestimate the US government's ability to do seemingly pointless things just to prop up certain businesses. We see that very same pattern of behavior elsewhere in the government; what makes you think the military is exempt?

Over 3000 dead is more than enough motivation, no petty political payoffs are needed to support going after suicidal fascists. Occam's razor.

Thus explaining the lack of military response in the "friendly" countries where those terrorists had been hiding, training, and collecting their money, and the continued military effort elsewhere that is directed at people who were not involved with the attack.

You are confused why we don't respond militarily to friendly countries? Ok.

If you want to stay in office, you do things which gain you political capital--you protect your citizens from threats real or fabricated, you promote the economy through sound policymaking or cronyism, and so on and so forth. There is nothing inherently good or bad about my statement; one simply does not do anything in policymaking without a profit motive, be it for themselves or their constituents.

More like third. A proper first class would not be downvoted.

lol thank Christ? Who's letting the creationists in to a scientific news site? Go back to faux news.

Yes, because belief in Christ is clearly an indication of mindless conservatism or creationism.

"Thank Christ, America is in charge" - a quote like that clearly is...

Agnostic, sorry.
This is a good example of a knucklehead comment. There is no profit in fighting cave dwelling extremists who want to make sure girls don't go to school. Instead of wishing for the demise of the US you should be saying thank Christ the Americans are in charge. HN can be a bag full of stupid on non-technical issues. I am going to start actively campaigning for the US to stop paying for the EU's defense.
