Nearing 600 killed in Lebanon over the past two days. There are already 40,000 US troops now in the Middle East and more on the way. And this in AP News:

“On Monday, the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman, two Navy destroyers and a cruiser set sail from Norfolk, Virginia, headed to the Sixth Fleet area in Europe on a regularly scheduled deployment. The ships’ departure opens up the possibility that the U.S. could keep both the Truman and the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, which is in the Arabian Gulf, in the region in case more violence breaks out.”

And US citizens have no say what our government is doing.
