I hate to have to say this, but Joe Biden was right about Iraq. Back in 2006 he said that the country should be broken up into a loose confederation of three states

I agree. The United States has assumed responsibility by blood and treasury so many imperial/colonial mistakes of former colonial powers such as GB,Spain and France. Isolationism,as President Washington warned and Paul and Buchanan reiterated, is mocked and now impossible. I would also say their Euro-crap caused both world wars. We can't change history but we sure are not learning lessons and paying for others mistakes as we foolishly make our own.

> we sure are not learning lessons <

Very true. LBJ did not learn from the mistakes of Korea, and from the French mistakes in Indochina. And George W. Bush did not learn from LBJ’s mistakes.

Which, in my opinion, makes George W. Bush the worst foreign-policy president in U.S. history. LBJ comes in second.

Isolationism as national policy became extinct on July 16th, 1945, based on events at the White Sands Proving Grounds in the NM desert.
