Old broken record here - We should have taken down Assad and the Iranian regime when we had huge armies/ air forces in Iraq. Possibly we could have controilled the aftermath then. Instead we are going to risk more crazies coming to power.
That whole place is f#%&ed up beyond help. Every time "Western nations" successfully topple a regime in the Middle East, we get a flood of Christians who flee the country to escape Islamist repression.
This is what the "New World Order" is all about, folks ... building a post-Christian world.
Yeah, we can always blast em. (to borrow a term from Yosemite Sam)
