Imagine our relief

Syrian airstrikes: It’s likely that the United States’ latest military intervention will benefit America’s enemies.

"Since winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, President Obama has, by my count, ordered new or expanded military operations—including airstrikes, special operations raids, and troop ‘surges’—in seven countries…(And that’s not counting a number of smaller U.S. military engagements in Africa aimed at targets including Boko Haram and the Lord’s Resistance Army.)
…but it’s time to acknowledge that one thing he’s not…is some sort of pacifist who’s…deferential to the views of the international community.

That would be the worst, right?

And anyway, remember they gave the Peace Prize to Henry Kissinger too, so what exactly were you expecting, my dears?
