And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville, mighty Casey has struck out.

It's easy to say, let's go in and get the bad guys. But you have a divided country of Sunnis and Shias. The United States goes and takes action there on behalf of the Iraqi government.
