'Fix' it? Is that the same fix for Humpty Dumpty's break? Last I heard both the king's men -and- all the king's horses are still searching for a 'fix' for that too.
On a more serious note, I find the talk of lobbing just 'a few cruise missiles', or a surgical drone strike intended to just 'bruise a little' to be absurd.
I don't agree with many of your Randian rantings, but on this we're on the same page.
If the US decides to wade into this quagmire, IMO it -will- lose what little moral credibility it has left. It will not make the US more safe, it will not make the US appear 'stronger', it will not make your e-peen longer and thicker.
TL;DR: Too many chicken(shit)hawks, too much brainless Hulk mentality, not enough Dr. Bruce Banner.
