A funny forgotten war in which we destroyed a country most likely (whether we knew it or not) to cover up Sarkozy's crimes. No one can offer up a better explanation, anyway, other than the usual liberal humanitarian intervention nonsense which explodes as ridiculous as soon as you look at what actually happened.
We aren't good at this stuff (because war is bad, that is why). There are very few examples of any of these things going right, but in the moment each one is as correct and urgent as the last.
