No on Syria…

Well…with all of the wrangling that is being done on whether or not to attack Syria, I think we need to remember the results of our interventions over the past 20 years or so…in no particular order, just as I think of them…starting with Iraq…after a trillion dollars and thousands of Americans dead, along with hundreds of thousands of Iraqis…we still have half failed state with hundreds of people dying every day and little prospects for it to be better…then we have Libya….one of the places that seem to have fallen off the media’s map lately…a completely failed state with gangs of terrorists killing and maiming at will since the central government doesn’t have the power to do anything about it…Afghanistan…outside of the American controlled areas, the Taliban and other warlords are still in control and are just waiting for us to leave so they can re-impose their crazy brand of Islam on the country and continue to murder women and children….do I need to go on? I think sometimes we just need to let things play out and not play world police…these folks have been killing each other for thousands of years before the US even existed and there is nothing anyone has ever been able to do to make them stop….geez…
