Thank you Professor Guzman. I have your Madison book on my shelf ready to read as soon as I finish my current book.

Regarding you being able to point to three other overseas situations for every one that I point out, that is completely true. There are atrocities all over the world that don’t even reach the news. If the US went after each one our military would literally be everywhere (even though it kind of already is.)

I completely understand that US actions in the Middle East led to the rise of ISIS and even worse chaos in an already chaotic region.

* Would there ever be a reason for the US military to take on ISIS in your view?

* When, if ever in American history, would you have supported military action or intervention?

Thank you.
