Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya.

All three are very close to, or actually are, failed states, and the U.S. is instrumental in their having become so. Military intervention can't possibly be seen as anything but a massive failure, so why on earth would anyone think that military intervention in Syria would do anything but create another clusterfuck?

The middle east isn't just teetering on the abyss, it's fallen.
