Yes, it is scary as hell how wars know no bounds. That is why wars should always be the last resort.

However, if you decide to wage one, then you have to wage it to win. To win, we need to make it clear that we may lose in the Middle East, but the people in power today will lose their power as well. That is the only language these type of power hungry people understand. Saddam may gloat that we're losing in Iraq, but he will never again hold power. If we make the same threat to Bashar Assad and to Khomenie, they might take us seriously. They will only take us seriously after we have flouted their sovereignty and attacked them inside their own countries, just as they are flouting Iraq's sovereignty and supporting the insurgency within it.
