On a human level, I feel that way about ALL wars. This one is especially fucked up for all the reasons you posted, and IMO we shouldn't EVER trust Arabs to engage in "clean" fighting. They're a culture with thousands of years of tribal warfare behind them, and on the whole they seem to LIKE the way that's worked for them thusfar.
Peace in the Middle East is laughable to me. Never gonna happen, either with our help or without. But I suppose we'll settle for whatever state of affairs allows us to keep making money off 'em and consider it "peace."
