Al, I think most everyone recognizes that Obama has created a terrible mess here through his aversion to using military power.

It would not have required nearly the intervention if he'd taken care of it up front. But today it is going to require someone to sort this out. You've got King Abdullah of Jordan saying it is WWIII, and that is my belief, as well.

You will try to point out that GWB started it, and that is a popular view but one which is historically just not correct. Obama's repeated failures to act have created a problem that is very unlikely to just go away.

When this is over the entire region will likely be a new and different geopolitical landscape and it is hard to say what it will look like. But it is difficult to envision the kind of relative stability in the region on the day Obama took office. If it makes you feel better to say it is all Bush's fault then so be it.
