>> But that is the result of decades of supporting strong men to keep the heat off of Israel. By removing Saddam, we upset the balance of power we spent decades tuning. Unless we want to invade every country there, replace their governments, redraw borders to be more sane and occupy it for a few generations, we will do an awful lot of standing on the sidelines waving our hands. This is a load of crap. First, and foremost, because Obama applied for the job. He knew what the situation was, and "his" solution is what brought us to this point. He knew best. There is a reason for "The Buck Stops Here." The problem is Obama -- and you -- believe the buck stops with other people. It doesn't. Every president knows full well what he's walking into. If he doesn't want to be there he shouldn't run for office. Barack Obama didn't run for office saying, "It is a mess, and I'll make it worse." Yet, it is inarguable that the entire region is in far worse shape than he found it. At some point you have to stop blaming "smirk" for everything and recognize that it is this president's abject incompetence that that brought us to this point. The buck has to stop with the current president. Always.
