If you look at it with dry eyes, the US involvement in Vietnam created a decades-long "problem" for China, while our involvement in the Middle East created a decades-long "problem" for Europe. From a "great game" standpoint, kicking over an anthill next to the picnic blankets of the other two world powers is certainly a strategy. For that matter, everybody letting a half million Muslims spill into Bangladesh is kinda like watching the fire ants run around before India spreads their blanket.
