That's the problem with the statistics of war. They can only show the body count and collateral damage, not how many lives were saved. In my opinion, letting people die and suffer under tyranny is far worse than the potential risks of helping them.

Hey George W., is that you?
Unfortunately the Middle Eastern countries are full of ancient feuds and religious zealots, they needed strong, hard leaders to keep them together.
Read up a little on the CIA's crimes against humanity and tell me America has any kind of authority, ability( or even desire) to judge the good from the bad.
If you think Iraq, Libya or Syria are better off now, or that the US military incursions were in reality humanitarian missions then I've got a bridge to sell you.

You suppose Assad will ever be held accountable for killing his own civilians?
I'm curious what your opinion of Assad is? Love him or hate him for slaughtering his own innocent civilians?

Saddam was the good guy for the US and selling weapons to him before the first and second war against Iraq!
When you do certain things the US doesn't like, you get sanctioned (meaning you can't do trade with other country's) hence the US is a dedicator itself for other country's BIG TIME! and since it's military/power is much bigger then everyone by a big margin you will be hard pressed to do not follow her 'orders'/her will. Russia seems mad, of course it's good having Russia as an enemy, lots of weapons 2 sell to Europe US followers.
The US even killed more then Hitler with the wars the US started since ww2.... the military defense/industry has became the most important thing economically today in the US.. the US doesn't trade that much worldwide except with wars/arms.. they are still king big time there.
