Trying to fix stuff, I presume. I think it was Colin Powell who said 'You break it, you own it" in reference to Iraq. If you presume the state of Iraq today has something to do with western intervention then some might suggest we should help fix things.
I agree to a point but in the last 16 years since the 'war on terror' began, not only is fighting militarily not helping, terror is just worse year after year.
A lot of us sane people predicted this when Bush was going into Iraq, but the war-mongers wanted to see some Arab blood fresh after 9-11 and didn't really care about the ramifications. Now the chickens are coming home to roost and the answer is to continue digging while getting deeper.
Sadly, unlike 2003, I don't even know what the Plan B is anymore but all I know Plan A isn't working.
Maybe it's like Vietnam, a war that can't be won. We just need to let the Middle East sort itself out.
