Khadafi learned his lesson when Reagan put him on notice.
When we went after Hussein, he handed over his nuclear weapons program. He got the message.
For that reason alone, Iraq may have been worth it. Imagine Khadafi with nukes.
Hussein was a known pariah with his own people. He gassed the Kurds and killed other citizens on a whim. He and his sons were notorious.
As for Assad, he wasn’t my favorite, but he seems to have been fairly decent to his people. He got pretty vicious when the fighting started intent on toppling him, but what government around the world would act differently?
Hussein, I’m pretty much on board with removing. Iraq is a better place for it, and it’s neighbors are better off.
Assad? Khadafi? We should have kept out of those messes.
Khadafi had done plenty over the years to earn a ticket to the glue factory, but he had settled down and wasn’t a problem.
It wasn’t my belief we would gain by letting terrorists take over. Egypt didn’t by it either, after the fact.
All these regime changes have yet to play out.
Until Islam is destroyed, those areas are all going to be run by sick sociopaths in one form or another.
Erdogan is the next one rising and it seems he’s got Russian backing (for now).
“Hussein, I’m pretty much on board with removing. Iraq is a better place for it, “
You can’t be serious.
