I know you don't believe that, but its amazing how often and easily that statement is put out there without any challenges.
*Taliban out of power, free elections in Afghanistan
*Saddam out of power, free elections in Iraq
*Gaddafi basically 'surrenders' after Iraq invasion
*Deaths from terror in Israel reduced annually from hundreds to a dozen
*No terror attacks on US soil after 9/11/2001
Fact is Bush worked for years through the Europeans to try to negotiate a deal with Iran not to build nukes, but was just banging his head against a brick wall.
The Obama people are naive and ignorant, believing the state run media propaganda, in thinking negotiations haven't been tried. They will also fail. What could we possibly offer what has now been exposed as a corrupt dictatorship that would give them more power than nuclear missiles?
