Stoopid or willful?

Willful!  I use that stylized spelling of "stupid" as a nod to our friend, Gourmet Dan.  To me, "stoopid" carries an implied /sarc tag!

I got that and appreciate it hence my repeat!

And the result of that continuing for another 40 odd years in that region would have been detrimental to US interests?  I think not!

MIllions of Iranian citizens, including the Shah's son and probable current Shah, U. S. educated and permanently aligned with us.

I suppose that I should at this point disclose the fact that I was there, on the ground in the region, when the CAAATA debacle occurred. Spend many weekends in the then BEAUTIFUL Isfahan!

The 1970s was a period in which the worldwide left was in ascendancy. Carter was the American tool. ISIS is what you get when the left is unchallenged and steals the levers of power.

Obama supports ISIS, wants Assad out and Putin knows it.  Why would Putin consider Obama's USA as anything other than a proxy adversary in Syria?  What an odd attack on Trump.  Obama basically was a giggling schoolgirl when he saw with Erdogan at G20, and Barry considers him one of his closest international friends. This is desperate even by TDS standards.

Trump has created a cult and looks more and more like Hitler every day.

I know that it's a useless exercise but I'm going to ask anyway.

I suspect Iran could of turned into something like Pakistan. A Western leaning Government trying desperately to keep a lid on its fundamentalist and tribal wack jobs

It's  a very Democrat and Libertarian position to just roll up the drawbridge and ignore what is going on in the world.

Waging endless war we can't afford is not conservative.

Yep, Internationalist in the GOPE love foreign wars because it is the best excuse ever invented to grow government and restrict freedom. Gives them an out to avoid having to deal with the messy nasty domestic issues and have to actually FIGHT the Democrats on anything.

You may not be interested in war, but war may be interested in you.

Do you honestly believe ISIS could wage successful war on our soil? We have the most powerful military the world has ever seen. The amount our military capability dwarfs anything ISIS could ever hope to achieve is comical. There is very little we can do to stop unknown extremists from killing innocent people. More war in the Middle East won't change that.

But....  low-grade perpetual war is extremely beneficial to some!

 :yawn2:

That's not what I was talking about and you know it. It's impossible to completely safeguard ourselves from extremist sneak attacks. How is ISIS going to seal the deal and take over the United States? Do you think our military, veterans and other gun owning patriots would sit idly while ISIS rose their flag above the White House?

Not to mention the disruptive factor where all they have to do is send a hoax email and you can shut down an entire school system.
