but somehow Saudi Arabia didn’t get touched. And there was no one in the Bush administration that knew that Shia and Sunni hated each other and this would explode into Civil War? We are the public. We weren’t expected to know that. They were. and if it took five hundred thousand troops to secure the border and prevent civil war then we shouldn’t have gone with two hundred thousand men. and we shouldn’t have left the job in Afghanistan up to war lords in the beginning.
Ah, don’t try to get sensible (and even biblical) about the question.
