@Alon @asayeed @BenRossTransit I mean is the claim that the US ought to have become the military of the Arab Spring throughout the region, that we needed more and more follow through on the Libya model? Obama dithered, abandoned Assad but shirked from enforcing his "red line". But even if he had, that would be a far cry from prosecuting the revolution. Is that what the US ought to have done, before ISIS and the often very cynical alliances that resulted from countering it?
