Ronald Reagan was no neocon - his policy 'The Reagan Doctrine' was to allow people to free themselves rather then free them by force. Where Reagan followed necon policy in Afghanistan and Lebanon it was a failure -yes arming the Muslims and building a network of jihad was a Jimmy Carter neocon (most original neocons are Democrats like Richard Perle) policy that had a terrible blowback.
Perle is a Democrat?? Would he happen to be Jewish too?
How old are you?
Jimmy Carter,OTOH, is NOT a nedo-con,can NOT be called one,using ANY of the meanings of the term,whether valid or not.
It is arrogantly stupid to use a term,which has a set definition,to mean anything you want it to mean...and totally ignoring the original and set meaning.
To add insult to injury,you throw around events,jumbled then all together,and then attempt to make them appear to fit your positions;which they absolutely do not.
"BLOWBACK"? Yet another term you neither understand the meaning of,nor use correctly.
Let's see...blowback,mmmmm...bloooooooooooowbaaaaaaaaaaack. Are you claiming that the USA's aid to the Mujahadin helped UBL?It did no such thing and that has been discussed and debated and examined,for years on FR.But the tinfoilers still say it did,without a shred of proof and no facts to substantiate the claim.
Lebanon? Lebanon and "blowback"? Are you talking about the attack on the Marines,or something else?
Gee...didn't Reagan also "invade" a nation in our hemisphere too? And there was absolutely NO "b;owback" at all, from that one. Notice,please,I have not named the country,so please,without doing a Google,supply its name.I just want to see if you know what I'm talking about. :-)
