My point was that the U.S. should not involve itself in conflicts between factions within a given country or region especially when religion or belief systems are involved. AKA most of the middle east.

Yes, we should assist our allies in defending their borders where appropriate, but trying to "police" a civil or internal conflict is like trying to have school children herd rabid cheetahs. And thrusting "democracy" on a country leads me to think of the old horse and water adage. It just isn't going to work.
