And why is it that the US is the one that always has to remove bad actors from power? I don't like these guys any more than you do, but if we followed our Iraq policy on every Dictator around the world. We'd be even more broke than we are now and every man woman and child would be in the military. You have to start recognizing the limits of our power. We simply don't have the wealth or military power to bring every single one of our enemies to heel. Instead, we have to acknowledge that some enemies we'll have to live with and then we need to get real focused on those we simply cannot live with, like Al Qaeda, and spend our money and military wisely on pinpoint operations. Iraq was a costly mistake.
