How long have we been involved in the Middle East? Since we recognized Israel as a country are we better or worse off in the Middle East strategically? Worse. It's not that there isn't an easy fix. It's that there isn't a fix at all.
Many Americans are under the delusion we can control the outcome in other countries. We can't.
Well look at our president...
It's one thing to say let them deal with their own problems and it's another to let a leader deploy nerve gas on civilians twice since 2013 without serious repercussions. As the strongest nation in the world the United States is the country that can leave the largest impression and condemn this behavior.
Actually I'm sure if we wanted to control other countries we could. Not that we should be but it's hardly a delusion we just don't believe in that sort of ideology.
