The cheerleaders (imho) don't appear to ever consider the full scale of horror that's looming around the corner for the region.
Also I'm tired of an ignorant rush to war from folks who seem to believe we should be "helping" the "revolutionaries", or that we can manage the chaos that inevitably follows these sorts of things, or that we can even adequately pick who the "good guys" are. I'm absolutely sure we are damned if we do intervene and damned if we don't but personally I'm voting for the "don't intervene" side.
