RE:”Maybe, maybe not. Iran was different back then too”

Invading, occupying and democratizing poor dysfunctional crapholes where they hate us was a bad idea,
sadly I believed Bush, Cheney, Rummy etc in the early 2000s.

I thought GHWB his daddy had a much better approach on this than GWB on this:

Bombs for oil rather than US Americans blood for muzzies who hate us.

When you put all three together, it was bad. You do not “democratize” anything either way, but you do defeat the enemy.

I’m reminded of Solzhenitsyn when he said this at Harvard:

Must one point out that from ancient times, a decline in courage has been considered the first symptom of the end?

We have had a growing decline of same since the end of WWII.

Bush Sr. had the good sense and patience to build successful coalitions for Gulf War I. Cheney, who was involved in that failed to understand the lesson, or was in too much hurry to give Halliburton those big contracts.

There is is no f.ing way that these poor muzzie crapholes equate to Germany and Germans.

Hear hear!
