What The U.S. began when George W. Bush attacked Iraq, has continued (to include either regime change or upheaval) in Afghanistan, Libya, Qatar, Egypt (failed), Tunisia, Yemen, Somalia, and now, Syria.

Bush used the pretext of terrorism and the War on Terror to preemptively attack Iraq, whereas, Obama used the "Arab Spring" disguised as a grassroots protest movement which quickly morphed into an insurgent movement. Now, President Trump is using the gassing of children, along with 'moderate rebels', to effect regime change in Syria.

Yet, there's something different in the American climate. Absent the outrage of a 9/11 style attack, Americans are starting to understand their country has now become the aggressor, starting wars at will, and leaving a battlefield of dead American soldiers in their wake.
