Ok,to start with ALL of us did NOT cheer that idiotic decision. SOME of us were content to let the Sunnis and the Shites kill each other off,and saw no need to remove Hussein from the equation. After all,he and Iraq were responsible for killing more fundie Muslims that EVERY OTHER NATION IN THE WORLD.
Only idiots or someone with a private agenda that would benefit from getting the US involved in a war that was none of our business could possibly think upsetting the status quo was a good idea.
As for a Marshall Plan,HTH do you think that was even possible? The Marshall Plan was to restore the industrial and civil societies of civilized countries. To do that you have to HAVE a history of civilization and industrial might. How anybody can think we can civilize a region where it is acceptable to rape both male and female children overnight and recreate something that never existed there in the first place is a mystery to me.
These people are NOT Americans or Europeans that dress and talk funny,and have practically nothing in common with either Europe or the US. Not only that,but they are convinced their ways are the best.
Good post. Took me awhile, but I finally arrived at the same pov.
On Monday, Jeb Bush held a rally in North Charleston, SC with George W Bush, Laura Bush and Lindsey Graham, and drew 3,000 attendees.
Meanwhile at a rally in upstate Greenville SC on Monday, Donald Trump alone drew 6000 and still many were turned away.
People are drawn to a winner.
