Payback. When I listened, lying in my bunk in the ramp mess, to our jets blasting off the deck on bombing raids or whatever 20 odd years ago, I used to think...some of the kids onshore are going to be on the end of this dished out grief. They may not full understand or care why we are hitting them, but they may come back, after us any way they can when they grow up. And so in yet another area its come, or coming back to us, now.
Syria must be half full of disaffected bitter men by now, after 5 years of war and grief and they've got through the borders of Europe. Its a spiral.
Europe let 'em in. As to the rest, Clausewitz has a pithy observation for anyone interested: "In war, the outcome is never final."
