So alleged mistakes from previous Administrations, intentional or otherwise, somehow make the actions of the current Administration to do the right thing now, are somehow inappropriate & unjustifiable?

That's a good sized rant, Amein. But one thing is clear. Times change. Pre 9-11, and after 9-11, for instance. And as far is this is concerned: >>>>>>>> if our foreign policy was based on principles, we wouldn't have sold Iraq all what we did during the 10 year war with Iran... we wouldn't have looked the other way when chemical weapons were used... we wouldn't have allowed Saddam Hussein to use fixed wing planes, in the no fly zone mind you, to massacre the people of the 1991 uprising... we wouldn't have walked away from the Kurds...<<<<<<<<< I might suggest that if times hadn't changed, we wouldn't be doing business with Japan nor Germany either.
