But beyond that what is the point? We should have shot him in that spider hole and left.

Iraq was US Fear and Bush 2's Honor.<br /><br />I fought VN, and still consider it right, in Cold War context. I consider SKorea similar. But we didn't "nation build" it. SKoreans did that themselves.<br /><br />World politics & war is amoral. POTUS should Only expend his nation's Blood & Treasure for National Interest.<br /><br />IMHO: In Afghan, we should have Butchered & Bolted. Iraq same, at Most.<br /><br />Islam is a distinct Civ. US leaders still don't seem to understand that. -- Rich Lara Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-34516229986896509842013-03-23T11:50:46.764-07:002013-03-23T11:50:46.764-07:00There was a large contingent which protested and c...There was a large contingent which protested and complained from about day 2. Not enough international support! This! That! The other! Something else! With the support of the Big-Time media.
