The "you break it ,you bought it" analogy has some validity but only if we can do things that won't make the situation worse. Going back with 100's of 1000's of troops will not fix the middle east.
I'm not saying it will. If I were Commander-in-Chief, I'd be hesitant to give the order to go back in (with Congressional approval, of course). It's just a bitter feeling from the failure. It bothers me as we see the regional threat grow exponentially day by day.
I'm not saying "Rev-up the A-10s, let's get to work!", but it's disheartening to see the progress we were making burst into flames. I'm not sure our withdrawal made the countries involved safer, in fact I think it's had the opposite effect. Drone strikes/air campaigns likely aren't going to be enough to put an end to their reign of terror, but I'm stumped and can't think of a proper solution.
