We never should have stayed in Afghanistan but Syria is another matter. Never should have invaded Iraq which was a colossal blunder but Syria is a different matter. Of course if it wasn't for climate change and a horrific drought in Syria the uprising would not have started nor would the Arab Spring but numbnuts like you who deny climate change are not only clueless about Real Politic and our leadership in the world but deny science. Yet you think you can think clearly?
