Clearly, not doing anything but ignoring the problem and hoping it goes away is the optimal solution. After all, if we pretend it doesn't exist, it doesn't, right?
Clearly we should install another Saddam, because that way we won't have to deal with messy democracy and its problems. We can just pretend the rest of the world doesn't exist.
Clearly we should just hide in the corner and shrug whenever an atrocity occurs because clearly the people who died wanted to die, right?
Clearly we should just pretend like it's all our fault and compensate the terrorists

Clearly if one says that 7 decades of our interventionism has helped create the situation we find ourselves in that it means the only other option is to ignore it, clearly. Clearly, we already had set up the ba'athists which led to Saddam being in charge and Saddam was our buddy til it was no longer advantageous for us, so clearly repeating that will clearly make things better, clearly. Clearly when people are oppressed, bombing them frees them from that oppression, clearly. Clearly, after 14 years of sustained war that has only made things worse, doing more of the same will make it better, clearly.
Clearly we shouldn't think about the consequences of actions, clearly we need to bomb more terrorists and all the civilians around them, clearly, as clearly that has been making positive progress, clearly.
