Quote by Colin Powell
When you decide to get involved in a military operation in a place like Syria, you've got to be prepared, as we learned from Iraq and Afghanistan, to become the government, and I'm not sure any country, either the United States or I don't hear of anyone else, who's willing to take on that responsibility.
Summary

The quote posits that few countries, including the United States, are willing to shoulder the burden of assuming governmental responsibilities in such situations, suggesting the complexity and challenges associated with post-conflict nation-building.
