The neoconservative conceit that everyone will put up with hostility and/or occupation as long as it’s America that’s doing it. So glad that your strain of conservatism is already in the dustbin of history.
But go ahead and set up some more strawmen if it makes you feel any better.
But that doesn't mean that history is like a VCR that you can just rewind, and to pretend that we can just take our ball and go home is childish.
