well those were dumb is what I'm saying. statecraft is retarded and counterproductive 9 times out of ten.
take iraq. the CIA has a hand in saddam getting in power, granted so did alot of others, then we fund the guy to fight Iran, then we cozy up to the kuwaitis and fight him for them. then we sanction him, which hurts the people and not him at all, then we invade and occupy his country.
If we had simply opted out at any point between 1960's and 2003 we would be much much better off.
If we can go to, say , liberia and stand aronud for 5 minutes and totally dispel a civil war, great. But the world is unruly and it's very easy to bite off more than you can chew. If reagan had invaded the soviet union we'd be dead. we'd all be nuked and just totally dead.
that's where we are now. islam is the soviet union. and we are biting off more than we can chew
