#1 Which part of "long war" don't people understand?

I fear, and sorta predict: around 50% of the US populace has demonstrated its short attention span and disconnection from its own reality, the US political class is breath-takingly cowardly and clueless, the world is now utterly dependent on US will and resources in the key battles ..... therefore the path to eventual victory will be much, much longer and more costly than it needs to be.

But maybe I'm wrong.

#2 Syria.

It has been a sore spot all along -- and is the last Baathist government.

One can only hope that if/when Israel hits Iran they will pop Damascus as well.
