U.S. Now Fighting on Yet Another Front

I'm not very happy about U.S. actions in Libya. Not that I don't want to see a dictator overthrown. But it's "We're going to kick this bad guy's butt!" once again--too reminiscent, to me, of Saddam Hussein and Iraq. And, remind me, when were we able to get out of Iraq? Oh, still not?

And now we are fighting three wars. How many fronts did the Roman Empire have to fight on at the same time before it spread itself too thin, to where that helped spell the end of Rome?
