I’ve also been converted to the “More Rubble, Less Trouble” point of view. Passed time to get out.
It took a generation to build democracy in the Phillipines, by creating schools, etc that taught a new way of living. You cannot change a country without completely taking over everything, its government, its schools, and by destroying that which opposes your goals. We did not do that in Iraq or Afganistan. In fact, we have ignored the extremists spouting hatred and oppression if they gave nominal support to the local government.
Failure from the get-go. Way past time to go home
