Leftists for NATO intervention

It is amusing: leftists for NATO intervention in Syria and/or Libya are rather embarrassed.  They will spend a lifetime trying to claim that they really had not meant to support NATO intervention, but that their words were taken out of context, and that they really did not mean what they said, etc.  Of course, leftists who supported NATO intervention in Libya (and later in Syria) not only erred politically and morally but they come across--in light of what has transpired in Libya and Syria--as dumb.
