It’s certainly not a view I am happy to hold. I do however believe it’s the reality we are faced with. If we let Syrian and Iranian type governments crop up all over the Middle-East and Northern Africa, we’ll be living in a different world.
We’ll be back to worrying about aircraft, and cruise ship hijackings, and international blackmail, just as an appetizer.

History will record that in the glorious aftermath of the Soviet Union’s demise, US foreign policy went on autopilot with Clinton, a paucity of stateman like forward strategic thinking being the main feature - Remember Warren Christopher and his umpteen trips to Damascus to cajole Assad.
Maybe if BushOne had won reelection but whatif’s are castles in the air......

It’s sad, but people like her who toe the party line will be fine if the Democrats succeed. They’ll be rewarded with positions of influence, power and exempted from laws that make foragers of the rest of us who resisted and told our children tales about freedom and self determination.

To: DoughtyOne
The Seven Day War in 1967 was my first exposure to the turmoil in the Middle East and the hatred most of the world held for Israel. I was in the 7th grade then. As my high school years passed,
Up until then it was all about the Russians dropping the bomb. One more thing to worry about when I went to bed at night.

Smogger, if the A.N.S.W.E.R. people were trying to arrange an overthrow of our government, Id not only understand the government taking the internet down, Id demand they do it. D1, ANSWER effectively controls the Executive Branch right now.
