WWII was an invasion into Europe, not a civil war.

Every time we've intervened in civil wars, the outcome has been bad, with one exception -- Korea.

The problems with your thinking are:

#1 It's how the neo-cons think and is the justification for all of the US terrorism in the past 40+ years.

#2 Who are you to say what the best outcome for another people are? Which people? What group in Syria will have this great outcome now that it's controlled by Isis?

#3 How many people did you get to kill to experiment with nation building? Do you really understand the internal power dynamics of countries like Syria, Iraq? Or are you practicing a form of Imperialism?
