I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world,
The problem with this is that I cannot remember any of those “best impulses.” Instead all I have read/seen about is hundreds and hundreds of years of rulers oppressing their people, killing Jews, infidels and other Muslims who are of a different sect. This includes the current group who don’t grasp the desire for change that Hussein is selling, and who can’t quite seem to grasp the necessity of rounding up and killing the terrorists who are determined to return the world to the 7th century.
The more I read/hear what he has said the more I come to understand that he is, at best, educated but clueless. It is frightening to think of having this man as President trying to negotiate with, say, Iran. He will make Chamberlain look like Dr. Strangelove.
Interesting to know.
