You don't p!ss away thousands of American lives and hundreds of billions of dollars on a military campaign, then turn around and tell the American people that "we may not like it, but those folks have a right to set up their government the way they want."
Bullsh!t. If they wanted to set up their government the way they wanted, they should have staged their own uprising and toppled Saddam Hussein's Ba'athist government themselves.
This is exactly why the American public doesn't trust the Republican Party when it comes to foreign policy. Heck -- even most Republican leaders don't believe this approach to foreign policy is worth a damn. That's why the loudest cheerleaders for these military campaigns are a bunch of Beltway @ssholes and media sycophants who would convert to Islam before they would even dream of putting on a military uniform themselves.
Thank you for your additional comments.
