Nothing that hints it needs bombing, aside from being likely located in the Middle East, not being a US ally and being seriously considered as a bombing target by a questionnaire.
If you want an example of it on the left, look no further than the 'wage gap'. Equal pay law is already in effect. It has been for decades. Yet thanks to authority figures misrepresenting the truth, they think there's a problem to bomb with legislation. Another example: assault weapons. The 'weapons of war' line was great, but the actual weapons of war were already banned.
Both sides can be retarded. I'd rather have the side that misunderstands foreign policy than domestic. That way the fuckups are further from home.
