So that reply answers all of the questions as to why we destabilize Libya and Iraq and try the same with Egypt, Syria and others and send known bad guys back home to fight our troops and those of our allies.

And that thing about shunning Margaret Thatcher.

Thanks for clearing all of that up.

The reply wasn't meant to answer any questions, only to point out that you are asking the wrong questions, or not asking enough questions. Also to point that your facts are not facts. So if you want to, you can say that Obama gave 11 billion to Iran, but the fact is Obama released 11 billion in Iranian assets.

But I can shed more light. It is about whether the US has a foreign policy based on idealism or realism/pragmatism.

So you are a neocon and your neocon prez(Bush) set all this off but you have not been able get another neocon into the presidency. Maybe you should nominate Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, or Bill Kristol?
