They also trained Al Qaeda in the 80's to fight Russia...
American foreign policy the last 30 years has been a complete failure especially in the middle east culminating with the failed over throw of Assad and the Iraq experiment.... |
I do realize all of that. To be fair I KNEW this would happen once we started pulling out. Yes it does bother me GREATLY as im sure it bothers Fiji. The thing is dude. I didnt agree with this war in the 1st place. Its going to break my heart when the same thing happens in Afghanistan. We have already started pulling out of there and im sure Taliban will do the same thing ISIS has done. It will tear me apart inside to know my friends and brothers died for nothing. But the point I'm making is no matter how many troops we send in after the fact the end state will remain the same. The American government is too ignorant to realize that you cannot stop a religious driven motive by simply instilling 'Democracy'. This is something we should just sit out. Iraq / Afghanistan is pretty much Vietnam all over again. Religious extremist will always win
