That would be SYRIA. A Nation we are in illegally and have been requested to leave. Bashar Assad may not be a Saint but it is the province of the Vatican to confirm sainthood, not the USA. We need to help Assad and Russia and stabilize the MidEast without war. Assad is like Saddam, he may not be a great, but he has been able to govern a Nation of mixed Islamic Fundies, Christians, Alawites, etc. and had, like Saddam, a prosperous cosmopolitan populace. We, the USA, have not been able to demonstrate that we have that ability. Send Syria food, cement, rebar and lumber and they'll likely be able to do the rest.
P.S. I was also AX. 42 crew 6
 
We can hope that Syria (not quite a real war) will be a quick and simple war like Afghanistan and Iraq (parts 1, 2 and now 3) and not a long drawn out affair like WWII. ;)

Another tragedy. Will it ever end?
If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,--
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

3 US died in Jordan a few weeks back, supporting out military aggression in Syria and the Mideast in general. This guy isn't the first. RIP
