For the past decade, our policies in the Middle East have done nothing but embolden Islamic radicals from Tunisia to Syria. Four thousand Americans died in Iraq to remove a secular "bad guy" and replace him with an Islamic Republic lead by cardboard cut-out leaders who had neither the popular appeal nor the steel-capped boots to keep the jihadists under control the way Saddam did. This was always going to be the outcome of our intervention.
I do believe “Jimmy” deserves a little of the credit for turning the middle east into a hell hole.
