Well, AJ hit the main point. But I will add South Korea to that mix. Powell was right when he said that invading Iraq was like breaking something at the Pottery Barn (you break it, you buy it). Saddam busted up Iraq, and our invasion didn’t help much. But unlike EVERYONE else in the world, we at least try to fix what we wreck (in war anyway). Would you rather we treated the Iraqis like the Indians? No Marshall type plan to help out? Cut them loose and let them swing?
Real progressive thinking there.
Of course that would give some more ammo to the left: “Oh look what happened to Iraq, we just abandoned it and let it swing.”
Or maybe you want to let the UN fix this? The same guys who couldn’t get the, oh never mind. Its too easy to list THEIR failures. I’d rather dwell on how we were failing and then were able to turn it around. Not exactly an easy accomplishment by any standard.
