I certainly don't think we should put boots on the ground and no war of whatever size can be won (?) without them. However, what will be EMs situation if there is another Chemical/Biological attack by whoever carried out the previous incidents?
As told to me by a Saudi - there can never be a Western style democracy in the Arab (Muslim), world - there can only ever be "one chair" (one leader). That applies to families, tribes, religious factions and nations.
Let them get on with it.
