"you think what you like, that does make it so. Your opinion is just that"
Of course. I am offering what I believe to be a reasoned opinion. I disagree with you, and as I posted previously, a president does not become great by recognizing a problem exists.
The great ones, Washington, Lincoln, Reagan became great by actually solving a problem unambiguously.
The Iraq and Afghanistan endeavors will fail when the US taxpayers stop sending money and return to their pre-GWB state of dysfunction. Again....my opinion only.
You are judging by what you THINK might happen..wow, do you walk on water too???? Bet alot of people, probably your relatives thought that about post war Germany and Japan, thank goodness a majority didn't listen then and pray to the good Lord, they won't now.
Who says violence or the threat of violence never solved anything?
