Syrian Influence

The fact that we have now allowed the radical Islamists to establish bases in Syria and actively engage in war has led to a renewed activity of Al Qa'ida in Iraq, as witnessed by the jail break of 500 prisoners - many of whom were Al Qa'ida Iraq members - in the past week.

War feeds war. It is a self-sustaining phenomenon. War is very much like a nuclear pile that goes critical. We cannot control it with more war.
War is the disease, and our medication is More War... and there is a certain logic, just as the remedy for "wildfires" might actually be more and vaster wildfires, for then all the fuel for fire is eliminated.
