Because things always go super well when we act as the world police. Knock out Assad, ISIS takes over. Help out a rebel group, they later radicalize and declare the west their enemy. Seriously, I think after several failed attempts to establish "peace" in a region and the insane amount spent on military operations mortgaged against our children, you'd realize that's not possible and cut our losses. Why does it have to be the US? Can't the EU step up if it's such a tragedy. If UNICEF is involved the rest of the EU can send troops if they truly feel they need to be there. You have a very short memory, the cognitive dissonance is beyond me unless you also supported the invasion of Iraq too? The indefinite nature of that should be a point that this can go on forever and it will. If we're going to stop being the world police, we have to actually stop getting involved and back away as we've been doing slowly over the past decade. This isn't a big surprise.
