I tend to agree with you...and I think a president McCain would have aggressively ramped up our military activities over in Afghanistan BIG TIME (and I doubt he would have bothered to carefully ask all the tough questions before doing it)...Many Viet Nam vets hope that our presidents have learned the lessons from that war. Bush and Cheney should have listened to Colin Powell BEFORE they rushed into Iraq (and they should have gone into Afghanistan the right way over 8 years ago)...Obama has inherited a mess on the foreign policy front and the key is to find a way to wind both of these wars down and protect our vital national interests at the same time. It's hard to believe that a very well known Nobel Prize winning economist has predicted that the full cost of the Iraq War will be in the TRILLIONS of U.S. tax dollars. Could Bush and Cheney look us in the eye and honestly tell us that it was absolutely necessary to fight that war and there were no other choices (did they really do everything to avoid an elective war?)...think of the blood and treasure our country has sacrificed so far - and many foreign policy experts feel we are LESS safe 8 years later.
