Yes, I meant the community organizer.
Perhaps if we had stayed in Iraq for thirty years like
japan and germany they might have come out ok.
Afghanistan is another story and I have my doubts of it
EVER becoming a unified nation. Still I’m not there
so have no first hand experience.
The Japanese quickly learned their lesson when they found out their Emperor was not a god that couldn't stop an atomic bomb and didn't want more of their children to die. Nazi Germany learned their lesson from the world devasting their so-called "master race" and they also cared about their survival.
Muslims have been conquered time and again, but never learn their lesson. Their cult religion tells them it's a GOOD thing to die. To paraphrase a statesman about the Middle East, "When Muslims learn to love their children as much as they do death, then peace may be realized". There in lies the problem with Islam as opposed to other totalitarian regimes.
BTW, thank you for service. Viet Nam was a righteous war to stop communism until the politicians and media screwed it up. I've read much about the Tet offensive and even General Giap admitted that he was ready to fold after the failure of Tet until he continued to watched our media and hippies. It's in his memoirs - sure you've read it. Another waste of our boys.
I find it sad that communist Viet Nam and China are becoming more capitalist by the year while we head more towards socialism, with communism on our doorstep due to the takers. The world is laughing at us, even the French who have outlawed burques. Remember when we used to make fun of them for being "surrender monkeys". Now I have more respect for their fedgov than our own. Be well.
Japan and Germany had well-developed civil societies and were not Islamic. Also, they had a vested interest in siding with the US and the West, as the only other alternative was Soviet enslavement. None of this was true of Iraq.
