It's the same with Afghanistan. It's also the same with the Philippines. You can even argue it's similar to here in the US where are large areas with very little law enforcement, which is where most militias exist.

Nope.
When Sadaam was in power in Iraq he had control over that country.
When Gadaffi was in power in Libya he had control over that country.
When we REMOVE these dictators...THEN the religious crazies run wild and take over. Then we have what we see now.
That's the point. Stability.
And I fear that we are going to do the same thing in Syria.
If we had stayed out of it completely...Assad would have already ended the war there a couple of years ago and the country would be back to being stable again.
By prolonging the way in hopes of overthrowing him...we have contributed to the slaughter.
I know that the intentions are good...but like my Great Grandmother told me: "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions"
