Maybe I would more accurately say "... reminds me how low the historical bar has been for physical violence by first world countries in pursuit of their own geopolitical goals." Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq are absolutely attributable to same, but I'd say there probably hasn't been a solid decade where the Lebanon-Pakistan corridor of countries hasn't had some kind of armed conflict (setting Israel aside even). Other than that, most of what I see seems to be civil war.
