I'm hoping we learn our lesson and stop trying to assist rebels in the middle east create regime change. We get sucked in by groups wanting to overthrow their dictators, and implement a peaceful democracy. We just can't help ourselves. The biggest sin is our "pride" that we somehow know what's best for this part of the world.
Once the dictator is gone, the people in these countries prove that :
1) They don't really want a democracy. The rebels just wanted to use the USA as a power grab to get themselves in a position of authority.
2) They lack the will to do what's necessary to see things through to the end. The so called "arab spring" for example. They roll over and let some bigger jack ass take control.
I'd like nothing more than to completely pull out of the region, but then it becomes one huge breeding ground for terrorist.
