It’s pretty impossible to argue with this. People might not like to admit it, but it’s true.
For once, I have to say, it is also partly Bush’s fault.
We SHOULD have just planned to go over there and sit on those people’s heads for a generation, but nooooooo, as John Belushi used to say.
It was all, we’ll liberate you! Democracy! Yada, yada.
It’s a worse mess now that it was before. And sure, Obama gets the lion’s share of the blame, because he is a miserable, America-hating, failure. But the whole “Islam is a relgion of peace” plan was fatally flawed from the get go. Islam being not, in fact, a religion of peace.
It's really true. I liked Dubya, I thought he was a nice fellow, but I really doubted he was correct on the notion that the Muslim world is ready for democracy. They have never known anything but tribes, kings, and dictators. It seems to be all they are fit for.
