Face it. The American entanglements over the last sixty years in most of the world has not enhanced the security of the United States. A huge price in human and material treasure has been paid and what is more, intractable needless long term enemies to the American people have been created. This most recent involvement will do nothing either for the Syrian people or the American people long term. Islamic culture is in a violent transformation since it is not compatible with the values,institutions and practices of modernity which is challenging it. The challenge and fundamental changes cannot be avoided. The chaos in the Mideast will only get worse and persist for a very long time. Americans should not be involved nor make anymore sacrifices.. Period!

It wasn't designed to. It was simply a message; Don't eff with us.

You reminded me of a great quote by a great man (destroyed by warmongers)

“If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist.”

Obama did a retreat and that did not work out so well.
