I hate to have to say this, but Joe Biden was right about Iraq. Back in 2006 he said that the country should be broken up into a loose confederation of three states
In 2008 Biden and Obama took power, and they did nothing to move that idea along. But it was a good idea.
In 2008 the issue was settled. The ‘wrong war’ as Obama described it. Other fish to fry(Libya) as all hell broke loose. Kurdistan sounds like a good idea. Jordan, Egypt, are the others worth saving. Can Libya be turned around? It was quiet recently. Lebanon? Sure, just make it 80% Christian again.
I agree. The United States has assumed responsibility by blood and treasury so many imperial/colonial mistakes of former colonial powers such as GB,Spain and France. Isolationism,as President Washington warned and Paul and Buchanan reiterated, is mocked and now impossible. I would also say their Euro-crap caused both world wars. We can't change history but we sure are not learning lessons and paying for others mistakes as we foolishly make our own.
