The problem is that Obama made the US into a paper target, we lost all respect from everyone.

Nobody fears us. As someone said, paraphrased “It’s good if they love and fear us, but if we can’t be loved, we need to make sure we are feared”

We are the laughing stock of the world and lobbing a few missiles is not only won’t change it, but will only reinforce it.

We didn’t get involved when the Iranian people rose up against the Iranian radical Islamic tyranny...when we could have turned Iran into a democracy, and defeating radical Islam’s main supporters. We had interest in that.

But in Syria there is no US interest.

You made some good points, but Obama isn't making the military decisions. Most presidents only agree or disagree with advice from military leaders. He'll only mess up, if he tries to intervene too much in military decisions by commanders. He's a figurehead--in essence, a civilian administrator. He makes poor speeches and allows Democrat social renegades to do excessive shopping (spending) and foment hysteria.

A few Iranian-American academic feminists can only do so much with great U.S. support (which they and other assets did receive). The mullahs had them scooped up and brutalized. The U.S.A. is not as popular in Iran as the socialist political/regulator class lets on.

"But in Syria there is no US interest"

...except for its support for Iran's nuclear weapons programs--activities also very important to Russia's plans. Russia did much to foment hostilities in Arab nations and arm those nations in the past to start the Six Day War.

Truth is, I don't trust many of the most influential political constituents on any side. They're socially pathological, debt-guzzling socialists, who sometimes run interference against U.S. defense to keep freight fuel prices low at all costs, keep our dollar unnaturally high (against exports) in this goofy world economy and balance of payments deficits (related to trade deficits) ever higher against our own national economy.

Something that’s interesting and odd, is that the largest numbers of people in the U.S. demographic wanting to support the goal of the Iranian-Syrian-Lebanese-Russian axis are living in or around our large cities. They’ve been duped into believing that Iran will only build a couple of nukes to launch against Israel. Oh, well. They obviously didn’t take the Huns very seriously early on, either.
