Things You Already Knew But I'm Going to Tell You Anyway #17,353,511

Intervening in the Middle East has always been a bad idea.

Intervening in the 1990-91 dispute between Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, et. al was a bad idea.

Invading and occupying Iraq in 2003 was a worse idea.

Intervening yet again to support the disintegrating regime in Iraq against the Sunni uprising, especially when Iran is already doing so, is the certainly among the dumbest damn ideas I've heard in a new century characterized almost entirely by really damn dumb ideas.

That is all.
