The biggest reason that memoirs from the Obama Administration tend to avoid lingering on humanitarian intervention is simply that the record provides little to brag about: a disaster in Libya and in Syria, and a quagmire in Afghanistan, where the prospects of millions of women, empowered by the removal of the Taliban, hang in the balance.

A second possibility is that Russia has no plan B, that it is maintaining its Syria intervention out of some combination of inertia and a fear of what will happen if it withdraws, that it is now stuck in a costly and open-ended quagmire with no real aim other than desperately maintaining a status quo that can only last for so long.
While the U.S. Navy responds to one of its worst accidents in decades, London copes with another terror attack, and the war in Syria threatens to entrap U.S. forces into its quagmire, Trump's attention was on Jay Sekulow, the self-contradicting, media-blitzing lawyer who can't seem to get his story straight on whether the president is under investigation for obstruction of justice.
So Trump sought to do the heavy lifting himself Monday, delivering a feisty speech here that attempted to reframe the campaign and extract him from the quagmire of the past week, which included a disappointing debate performance, a roiling controversy over whether he paid taxes, and ill-advised attacks on a Latina beauty queen -- a feud he couldn't seem to let go.

An association with the name Trump has had differing effects on properties around the world: On apartment buildings in Mumbai, India, it is a sought-after asset; on a Washington hotel, it poses a potential ethical quagmire; and on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, tenants of a Trump-branded complex so loathed the connection that last year the name came down.
Fearing that the impeachment process will trigger a backlash akin to what Republicans faced in the late 1990s, Democrats are getting caught up in an investigative quagmire that is likely to result in cumbersome legal battles with the administration, uncooperative witnesses, meager information and ongoing news coverage about the clash between the branches rather than the actual substance of the evidence in the Mueller report.

This gives Iran a lot of potential to "Carterize" Trump — that is, to do to Trump what Iran did to President Jimmy Carter: draw him into a Middle East mess, by just conducting small operations against American civilians or troops in the Middle East, forcing Trump to retaliate and sink deeper into the Middle East quagmire — at a time when the region has never been less important to America — or not respond and look weak.

No matter what side of the debate one gravitates toward, stories like Ms. Serrano-Hernandez's highlight the moral quagmire that we've created by treating the migration of desperately poor people as a problem that can best be addressed by border walls, tear gas, detention camps, militarized policing and mass deportation — except, of course, for the relative few, truly "deserving" individuals who may be granted legal citizenship (typically after years of waiting and hundreds or thousands of dollars in attorney's fees) if they can win asylum.
