I really wish I could say that knowledgeable people made a wise decision here, but Iraq and Afghanistan make it hard to trust anymore. We do reactionary things with no plan capable of succeeding and stick with them to save face. Military intervention is messy and has all kinds of unintended side-effects. I hope we are doing good things here and I don't know enough to say we aren't, but I'm not willing to trust that we are simply because congress approves of it.
