NEVER, in my memory, has the United States had a more sensible, comprehensive, and coordinated policy in the Middle East. The current administration has, quite simply, nailed the strategy for dealing with terrorism -- and it involves stablizing Iraq, getting some control over Syria, and having a consistent policy with respect to the Palestinians.
Its the same strategy we've had for over 60 years. We used in in Vietnam, Korea etc. Its when you think the enemy is gaining control, you do a show of force. This is the strategy most favored by your party.......might makes right. There is only one thing new with this invasion of Iraq...........it was pre-emptive. Hardly the stuff of innovation.
Again, I don't expect you to comprehend this stuff as it is complicated. But it is just crystal clear to me that the best foreign policy minds in existence are being called on to bring about change in the MidEast that will have the effect of reducing the threat of another 9/11, while at the same time destroying bin Laden's (and others') ability to get at us.
Don't patronize me..........your sophistication when its comes to this suff is pretty limited. There is little if any evidence that terrorism has been dealt a fatal blow other than Bush's self serving comments. And as far as cleaning up the neighborhood, all that's happened is Saddam is gone. There is no guarantee that Iraq will turn into the guiding light you so hope. In fact, already evidence is suggesting otherwise. |
