You are delusional

You complain about FR not being what it used to be. You contribute by insulting me. Just because I’m not on your war wagon ( mainly because I’ve seen what happens when the US gets on an endless war cycle) doesn’t mean I support dictators. That’s intellectually dishonest and sloppy to boot

IF the US left after defeating Hussein ( or the Taliban) instead of trying to decmocratise the place maybe I’d agree with you

IF you are that miserable on FR…….

Dear Freeper Folks…..
……this new person has signed on just to trash Free Republic

We all would do well, imo, by not responding to its aggression, insults, and enticement to argue

Let him/ her/ it talk to itself

Just saying

Dude, you told me to go fight for Ukraine. That's something the Putin defenders say. Was that not a nasty remark? I didn't even mention Ukraine. You also refer to "my war wagon." Again ignoring the facts of what led up to Iraq and Afghanistan. We didn't start either war. To argue we shouldn't have engaged sure sounds to me like what led to 9/11. Al queda was at war with us, but under Clinton we were not at war with them. We all know the disastrous results that followed.

We couldn't just leave. The terrorists would quickly take over. We had to provide a framework for a government, one that would not threaten and attack us. Look at what happened when Obama pulled us out of Iraq, and Biden pulled out of Afghanistan. We should have kept a certain number of troops in both countries. It was very much to our strategic and security benefit.
