res- Like the Afghan Mujahedeen who the CIA recruited to fight the Soviets, like the Iraqi Baathists who we supported from the 1950s through the 1980s, like so many of our Frankenstein proxies, they will drift out of our control, with horrible results.

That's a pretty low opinion you have of Germany and Japan Jacob. I believe both these *democratic* nations have matured enough to determine their own future direction.

So let me see if I get this right. Because a nation once had a militaristic path, and America fought them in a war, we need to *control* them forever? Further, if we decide to take our armies out of their country, and their people decide to re-arm, it's America's fault because we left?

Name calling (nihilist) won't change the total illogic of this post Jacob.
