I am hopeful that the media (surprisingly) will squelch a repeat of Vietnam/Cambodia and post-Gulf War I. There should be more cameras around if/when the massacres occur that would have the effect of forcing military involvement.
Unfortunately, the media is not going to do nothing. The daughter of Zbigniew Brzezinski —Obie’s foreing policy counselor—, MIKA Brzezinski, has a prominent position in MSNBC... Go figure!
