so couldn’t you argue that the right thing now is to take out the Iranians and Hezbollah in Syria?
not saying I’d agree.
I think you could also argue that the bigger mistake wasn’t so much in supporting them to begin with but in pretty much losing interest and picking up stakes in the late 80s and ignoring things until 9/11.
We should have done what the 1st king of Saudi Arabia did in 1925.
Him and the Saud family teamed up with this group of fighters to take control of the country, but the fighters still had issues and were causing trouble and threatening him. So he called this big pow-wow out in the desert where they’d all meet and settle things. Only when they all showed up he had his boys open up on them with truck mounted machine guns and gatling guns and wiped them all out. End of threat.
Hezbollah dies or atrophies without the patronage of Iran.
I could support going after Iran but, dear leader hung them guys out and they won’t be agitating again until they get an American President they trust.
