Maybe this is one of the fundamental differences between Democrats and Republicans. Destabilizing Iraq (or Afghanistan) in order to get rid of a despotic regime and liberate it is OK, say Republicans. Democrats say no. Destabilizing Afghanistan in order to draw the Soviets into a protracted war that contributed to the end of the Soviet Union, however, is fine, say Democrats, despite the fact that Afghanistan has suffered for decades afterward, and the rest of the world is suffering blowback from the rise of the Islamists. According to FL, it isn't even questionable. Which is more important in world history: The Taliban or the fall of the Soviet Empire? A few over-exited Islamists or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the Cold War? -Zbignew Brzezinski --fl@yougetthirtysecondstocomeupwiththerightranswer,startingnow.com :o) Amazing. You guys suck at realpolitik. Sorry.
