I am sick of these Nation Building projects. We better start building our own nation.

I am sick of these Nation Building projects. We better start building our own nation.

We learned after WWI that if you do not rebuild your enemy into an ally, they will return as a stronger enemy.

Terrorism requires us to do this again, in the Middle East.

We either rebuild these nations now or do it later at a far greater cost, but it will have to be done.
