There's no problem that the American government feels it can't solve by lighting a few things on fire. Government we don't like in Iraq? Light some of Iraq on fire -- that's probably an effective means of dealing with that powder keg. Government we don't like in Libya? How about we light some of it on fire? People who dislike us in Yemen and Afghanistan? Send drones to light their villages on fire! That'll turn public opinion!
And now Syria. I'm sure that lighting Raqqa on fire won't further destabilize the region. I'm sure it'll touch the hearts and minds of those who oppose us, and convince them to join us in rebuilding their country.

There's nothing a little fire can't fix.
