Millions of people have been either killed in horrible ways, maimed physically and mentally, are being brutalized by IS who moved in to fill the vacuum left, have been made refugees in countries now under similar attack by IS and other radicalized jihadists who Hussein and Gaddafi had kept in check. These millions of people are suffering horrible, hopeless lives. Women previously doctors, lawyers, teachers ..... are now raped and murdered daily by those who've filled that vacuum. Children are starving, being born deformed because of the chemicals used and left behind, are having limbs blown off by those little cluster-bomb toys left behind, have chronic PTSD with absolutely no medical help. Whole infrastructures destroyed, hospitals, schools, priceless artifacts. People trying to leave and dying by the thousands drowning at sea, and on and on and on.

Doesn't take a fucking rocket scientist to see what the result of those horrors were.
