|quote=The U.S. must respond. But it must act in concert with other nations, reflecting the massive violation of international norms this horror represents. And it must temper Americans' expectations for the result. If we've learned nothing else in more than a decade of war in the Middle East, it's that the U.S. cannot impose democracy and must face the fact that in some conflicts, there may be no good outcome.
