My take:
- We (US) tend to exaggerate our own importance in security matters - often leading to disaster
- It isn't the quest for 'justice'that makes us invade other nations hence we have disparities in the way we handle situations depending on that nations strenght
- Our involvement has done more harm than good in Syria leaving chaos and an unwillingness on the part of the Middle East to fix their problems
- Our media definitely isn't helping matters
- China is a very powerfulforce to be reckoned with
