What are you referring to when you say "the last time we tried that strategy"?

??? I don't think I understand what you're referring to in your first comment. It's not the US' sole responsibility to stop a civil war. (The comment I was referring to was the one made by DFF about 'Bush better get these guys reeled in'. I don't recall the Americans being involved in the Israel/Palistinian war except to say that they support a free and independant Israel, and a democratic peace keeping process between the two entities.
The last time the Americans decided to stay out of things was right before WWII. They decided to work towards rebuilding the US and making it a stronger nation. It didn't work, they were dragged into a fight they didn't want to be involved in.
If you'll note how the US is handling the N. Korean situation, they've stepped away from wanting to be the world's police. The war we're talking about in this thread was not their choice, and they've worked very hard to avoid it, except to help in negotiations. (At least recently, it wasn't always that way.)
