You said that he was a dictator. What is the US to do about it?
True, but not bringing the troops home is a betrayal of the troops and the voters. Right?
Not necessarily, when you go into foreign countries you can't just fuck about and then bail... maybe not going in the first place is a better option...
What do we do about dictators, let's assume there's as much as a third of the world that fits that criteria, or less... not the point... how about do nothing with a few exceptions like mass exterminations and genocide.
The Chinese model seems far more productive... trade, building infrastructure as opposed to war.
Bill the world is complex, if we don't keep an eye on Pakistan and various other places where terrorists are plotting, we're gonna get screwed.
Sadly, we get screwed either way, including homegrown nut jobs.
I have no easy answers... at this point we can't avoid all wars, but many we can.
The Middle East, was a total shambles... after Rabin's assassination, by a fellow country man, I pretty much gave up.
I gotta take the kids to school now... so I am gonna clock off...
Let's let this one rest... come back to it later... I hope you are well, and I am gonna try to same...
Be good friend...
