Poohbah,

What's your assessment on the following?

I don't believe we have the:

1) The military ability in terms of manpower, ammo, other material most likely commonly used in such events;

2) The political will;

3) The population's support;

4) The financial/economic strength

to do whatever else may be wise or even required in the Middle East.

It's a sad state, to me.
