    Even more important question: What are the chances this will all spin out of control in VERY nasty fashion?

        @libdemwasjailed I think some experts expressed concern abt Mali. But here OBVIOUS follow-on is Lebanon & Iraq. Iraq 2.0, we can call this!

        @emptywheel Its hard to see how a cruise missile strike leaves Assad regime in a *stronger* position to tangle with its neighbors, no?

        @BillBindc Assad didn't tangle with his neighbors. So even assuming you remove him w/o involving Lebanon, Iraq, the next people might.

        @emptywheel Assad didn't tangle with his neighbors? Not sure how the Lebanese would take that statement.
