Here We Go Again

Democrat and Republican leaders
Need to think clearly, contain their wrath,
And apply diplomacy to help avoid
Leading us down a dangerous path.
 
By demonizing Putin and being
Manipulated into getting involved
In Russia's affairs, now there's a risk
Of bigger problems being left unresolved.
 
Leaders must also end the fixation
They have about deposing Assad.
Hello! Remember Iraq, Libya,
And Egypt! Such tactics have proved to be flawed.
 
To destabilize yet one more
Middle Eastern country is wrong.
Nations can only resolve the problems
In Iraq and Syria by getting along.
 
A united coalition of nations
Working together in the Middle East
And Africa should be able to bring about
Greater security at the very least.
 
Now Putin is not my favorite person;
He's helped to make Russia a scary place.
This is more about peace and safety
Then it is about anyone's saving face.
 
Do not listen to hawkish leaders
Whose aggressive stance will only make sure
That instead of ending overall conflict,
They'll make the world even LESS secure.
