Along with all of the others, I do not see a reason to meddle in the internal affairs of that nation and I particularly question the logic of a "limited air strike." Just what are they going to strike? The imperial palace? That will just make a bunch of people mad at us, and possibly lead to retaliation against us. The weapons making facilities? They can, and probably will make more facilities, and that will possibly lead to retaliation against us.
I could go on, but suffice it to say that every scenario I can conceive of involving our "intervention" leads me to, at a minimum, retaliation against us, in the form or terrorism if not flat out war.
And having said that, recognize that as President, bambam has not yet had "his war" only the left overs of previous Presidents' wars, and he may be interested in getting this one going in order to solidify his party's hold on the White House, either by getting Clinton, Kerry, or Biden elected in his stead, or even as a justification to either allow him to run for a third term, or just to declare martial law with no elections until after the war is over.
Where is my tin foil?
