Obama/Panetta is making situation worse with pakistan
Romney and Rubio want Iran
Obama and the others currently want Syria.
Afghanistan is a quagmire (we should be pulling out by 2014)
China Situation/South China sea is seeing a new theatre develop..
We probably really do not have much time..
Pakistan is reaping what it has sown in my opinion. All their ISI activities are coming back to bite them hard on their ass.
So do the majority of Iran's neighbors. I guess wiki-leaks doesn't count when it goes against internet pop culture opinion eh?
Obama may not have a second term...
The situation in Afghanistan is nowhere near as dire as many like to exaggerate as it being here at ATS.
That situation has been going on for decades.
You don't mind if I avoid your brand of Kool-Aid

Last I checked USA was not one of Irans neighbors, so why again are we interested in asking for war with?
The neighbors of Iran can wage their local wars if they should so choose
PS: I don't even use wikileaks
Well, Im not voting for him LOL
We have only killed about 10K taliban out of about 40-45K over 10 years at a cost of few hundred billion dollars. That amounts to millions of dollars per single taliban..but I guess if you say thats ok, well then I have no problem
We all know that, but what if the Chinese decided to take advantage if we start another war elsewhere...
Its the good kind.
It has been their neighbors who've asked the US to deal with Iran, Both Bush and now Obama have rejected it flat out.
The Taliban should decide to take the peace initiatives more seriously and the killing stops. No?

The taliban have been there forever, I hardly think they would succumb to our demands. They will revert back to their old ways when we leave.
So what is better we kill a lot of people and try to force the taliban to meet our demands at all cost or leave them be and they kill a lot less than the mess we have been causing.
Should the taliban take the peace initiates more seriously: Yes. Is it the US's problem? No, and we should pull out ASAP

Funny that the communist states are the ones who end up having to defend democracy

Syria is one of Russias few remaining openly friendly nations in the ME/Med
With its valuable deep water port access for a small but growing naval presence by Russia
This also acts as a platform into the med, southern Europe and north Africa.
Due to the events of the last 5 years Syria has become essential to Russia's force projection capability, more so recently in the areas of the med currently under political dispute due to resource deposits.
NATO naturally wanting 100% guaranteed access to these resources, and control of another deep water port into the ME from the med and to strike another blow against Russia's strategic assets........well you get the picture
