Easy targets

The thing that I haven't figured out is why we want to avoid a wider war, a war against states. Wars against states are easy, it is fighting the terrorists that states sponsor that is hard. A limited war against Syria or even Iran is a lot easier than trying to root out Hezbollah.

you're right - US should bomb any country they want. it won't fix anything but who cares - who'll stop you? and those government procurement contracts are so nice...

you're an idealist my friend and believe that one country or anyone can solve the big mess that most of the world is. well, you're wrong - the natural state of the world is a mess and we're lucky to live in a time when some countries are actually not in a mess. but no good thing lasts forever.

but of course - feel free to say whatever makes you feel good.
