getting involved in Syria has the potential for either/both. I would say that right up there with Vietnam in Iraq was the US invasion of Mexico (the war nobody ever talks about, except my relatives still in Mexico). Destroying the Nazi War machine was a good thing. And the Japanese Imperial one too. But I can't defend the firebombing of Tokyo or Dresden. The world is a sad place at times.
