You’re right, one was an evil Republican war and now we are fighting the good messiah’s war. Syria is so much safer than Iraq and they have an evil leader who tortures and kills his people.
One of the problems we have is there is no indication that if we remove a Quadaffi, Mubarak or Assad that we will get anyone better. On the contrary maybe we get worse. The mid-east has always been quicksand for infidels with Islam always in the background ready to rear its ugly head just when it looks like peace might be around the corner.
