That is all that matters. Americans do not need any other help. They are a can do nation. Obama's hands were forced in Libya on humanitarian grounds when Benghazi was surrounded by Gaddafi's forces and a mass massacre was imminent. That is not the case in Syria.

He learnt from his own experience unlike Democrats who learn from the experiences of others (smart folks).
