If it makes this country and the world safer by taking care of the bad guys and ending the continuous drama and threat they pose then so be it. You will notice the mid east is a lot safer now then when they were still in power. You haven’t seen any 9-11 attacks have you since then? Maybe you guys in the Young Republican clubs were not old enough to remember it but most of us on the board supported dealing with them decisively.
Coups do not help the countries who are behind them in the long run, and Color Revolutions are proving to be ill-advised.
Libya is a basket case now with terrorist factions running amok there and slaves are bought and sold there.
They were hardly “moderate Muslims” that were trained in Syria to fight Assad. That civil war in Syria has opened the door for Christians to be targeted.
Iran now effectively controls much of Iraq and things are worse now for Christians there.
Yemen has been obliterated in a proxy war.
Sure, it was far from perfect before as the former leaders in them were often brutal, but I believe in many instances things are worse and more unstable, so your worldview is clearly too short and limited to understand just how badly the neocons/neolibs have broken the ME.
I’m 68. I’m no “ Young Republican “, I can assure you. In fact, the “Republican Party, the GOP, or Gang of Pussies, as I like to call the, better stop its slide to the left if they ever want to win another presidential election.
In a 60-Minute interview with Leslie Stahl, Madeleine Albright was asked if 500k children being killed in Iraq was worth it and she said yes.
And I remember seeing and hearing John McCain jokingly singing “Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran” when on the campaign stump.
You’ve lost your flicking mind. You are seriously advocating that this biden administration identify and label who is good/bad and a threat to world piece? You moron, it’s you that will be identified and exterminated in the end. And in your case it will be well deserved.
