I still don’t understand why people are demanding the United States “do something” about the Syrian Civil War and “show leadership” when there doesn’t seem to be much evidence for our ability to do anything positive (if at all) about the situation.
And as an interventionist in general, I offer this observation:
An America that intervenes everywhere will soon be able to intervene nowhere.
If we go in there, we won’t be able to help anyone else for at least a decade. Or maybe ever.
