The inexorable slide into war

Senator John McCain was all over the news today with his plan for bombing Syria.

Back in saner times that used to be called war.

Seems to me that the last couple of wars that America has embarked on haven't really turned out that well.

A trillion dollars sunk into Iraq so that Iran can have more influence there than ever before?

Closing in on another trillion as America gets ready to hand Afghanistan back to the Taliban?

A commitment to our puppets in both Iraq and Afghanistan to prop them up in perpetuity, at a cost that cannot even be imagined.

In this environment Senator McCain wants to start another war?
