Another fine mess. Another typical American foreign policy fiasco. We will never learn. This is becoming our undoing. My theory is if we unleash the hounds of hell of our military, make it count, make it permanent and damn sure make sure it benefits America’s safety and security. I would apply this to kicking ISIS in the teeth, not attacking a sovereign failing nation of Syria who posses zero threat.

Well put. Someone (I forget who) once said that democracies should go to war reluctantly, but then fight fiercely.
The US has been ignoring that wise advice for decades now. We casually fire a few missiles here, then we fire a few more there. We invade a little in one place, then we invade a little in another place.
