We stayed too long in Iraq (nation building) and Afghanistan (nation building) too.
All that is necessary is to kill each and every one of your enemy and go home.
The decent indigenous population can usually take care of it from there.
Of course one must be willing to kill on a Dresden or Hiroshima scale.
It'll come to that eventually any way you go about it, so we should just gitter done.
Don’t agree, at all. It was always going to be about establishing a base of operations in the Middle East, and expanding it until there was no safe haven for the radicals. If we had handed Japan and Germany back quickly after the war, things would very likely not have gone smoothly. It’s a legitimate argument that handing back a country like Iraq to those who can’t ensure ongoing control and suppression of extremism is irresponsible.
Anything less and the military shouldn’t be used.
Well Cruz saying that we got too involved with ‘nation building’ was music to my ears cause I’ve said the same as well....we should go in, do the job, and get out and quite trying to change the people and their cultures to be more American when they don’t want it.
Nonsense.
The only mistake was George Bush trying to placate the opponents of his successful war effort when the only reason they opposed the effort was to criticize him.
