The world always needs leadership.

If we don't do it, someone else will fill the vacuum.

The world always needs leadership.

If we don't do it, someone else will fill the vacuum.

I'm not talking about the world, I'm talking about the Middle East.

If you know the secret to "leadership" in the Middle East, then share it with us, because the Carter, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama administrations could not figure it out.

And no, I don't consider "leadership" to be propping up governments that hate our guts, dumping billions of taxpayer money into them even as their citizens plot to kill Americans, taking sides in a religious civil war that dates back 500+ years when plenty on both sides want to kill Christians and Jews, putting our troops in harms way and then tying their hands behind their backs, and trying to pretend that these countries and their religious fanatics are one thing when they are not.
