International relations change all the time. And you can find some expert somewhere that warns of any or every thing possible based on our current course of action. The fact is at the time helping whomever against the Soviets was in the best interests of America. The mistake was abandoning them when the Soviets pulled out, not helping them, regardless of who "them" was at the time.
But what WB said is true about both sides having to be relucatant to die. This is EXACTLY why we have to hunt down terrorists wherever they are. Does this mean you would support an invasion of Syria, WB?  |
I would support an invasion of Syria based on their past activities alone. They are far more dangerous than Iraq ever was. I'm not naive, Scaeagles. I realise what we are up against with the Islamic terrorists. I am just disgusted by the lies and behavior on our side- we need to be the good guys in this, and we are failing miserably.
