Hit Syria?

Why not?  Look at what Clinton and Bush accomplished in Iraq.  And what about Russia, Bush and Obama in Afghanistan?  And didn’t Tunisia, Lybia and Egypt work out well?  So why not saunter into Syria?  Try Tomahawk missiles.  Missiles always make new friends.

The West has failed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Tunisia, Lybia, Egypt and many other countries.  Countless numbers have died and we have made enemies with long memories.  In every case the locals were at war with their own when we arrived.  That internal war did not end when we left in disgrace.  In Islamic countries civil conflicts began in 600 AD and they will never cease.  How many times do we have to humiliate ourselves to learn this lesson?

Strange but true that President Obama launched his Presidency with a speech in Egypt where he promised to liberate Islam from the evil West.  No one has ever succeeded at liberating Islam from itself.

Unfortunately for Islam, tribal leadership has now overtaken the West and the West has begun taking sides in the battles that Muslims wage among themselves.  It’s a giant lose-lose conflagration for both East and West and it will not be over until it bankrupts the new Western warlords.

Now that 100,000 have died in Syria, the West feigns distain for the chemical weapons used to commit the most recent 1400 killings.  As is the case in North Africa, we are not sure what happened and we don’t know who did it, but there is willingness to supply one side with guns when both sides hate the West more than they hate each other.

I wish I could believe that the left-leaning West could find the leadership it needs by swinging right, but it would appear that neither side can understand the problem.
