So, are you saying you don't know what you would have done in Egypt? Other than in very broad non-specific general terms? Between Obama (who screwed it royally) and Paul (do nothing, ever) leaves a lot of open territory. Pakistan actually isn't working out real well right now. Appeasement and apologies aren't real sound foreign policy. We're aiding them to .. try to publicly beat us up? Not very sound, IMO. Our foreign aid isn't very 'leveraging' apparently. That problem should have been nipped in the bud, by some rapid issuance of some high-level communications that the foreign aid would end the next day if they didn't get their stuff together about just where they stood. A certain amount of bluster on their part might be necessary to appease their own, but not the way they kept at it, and are actually still going at it. You know, I don't mind at all playing 'what if' ... but if you are going to have to continue to throw in the 'barbs' in order to satisfy some sort of deep, unmet need in your personality, then it's just not nearly as much fun.
