Think Iraq, about 20 years ago. Think Iran before that.
Bad policies continue to undermine our national interests abroad.
The jury is still out on Pakistan.
Iraq wasn't really on my map 20 years ago.
Iran was, as I worked with Armenian engineer ex-pats from Iran. They were just middle class, well educated guys, who said Iran was a paradise before the islamofacists took over. Thank you very much AHOLE Jimmah Fugghing Carter!
After Jimmah let Iran go to hell, I believe we supported Iraq's war against them.
The jury is still out on Pakistan.
Now that we need the Paki's, we're supporting them, at least the titular head of the country, who knows about the masses of mid-level radical muslim types?
My point was that we should only send foreign aid to countries that will "place nice" with us.
Teddy's Big Stick comes to mind...
