So you agree with me. It's not a question of whether Nation Building is the American way, it's a question of whether we are trying to rebuild a large or tiny country as to whether you would agree.

Agreed.

Was Nation Building in Germany and Japan and.....Grenada legitimate.

Undecided, undecided, and yes.
