So we're cool with the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of protestors? No one should answer for that? We just let those same people posture to attack our allies and one day, if their plans come to fruition, the US abroad and stateside?

As much as I find interventionism distasteful in many cases, when a religious zealot hell bent on a holy war against anyone who isn't a fundamentalist Muslim I have less of an issue with it.

Israel killed 100,000 civilians how about we overthrow them first and then worry about Iran?

Should we have been cool with the Maine, gulf of Tonkin, incubator babies, Serbian rape factories, WMDs, African Viagra mercenaries in Libya?

Saddam was a brutal dictator, so was Assad and Ghaddafi, the Taliban in Afghanistan, Maduro, list goes on

Pretty much all foreign intervention is done against some pretty fucking awful people, so which example of US intervention do you find “distasteful”?

And for what it’s worth, there’s no actual guarentee of regime change, most likely outcome is a hardliner outmaneuvering his rivals, ending the bombings by paying lip service and sell oil to Trump, then continuing with an oppressive theocracy

We shouldn't be "cool" with it but preemptive strikes and protracted wars don't work unless your goal is to funnel US taxpayer dollars into wartime manufacturing. Even the British have wised up to what's going on.

It's a hard lesson after Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan that the people in charge refuse to learn.
