The sporadic musings of a middle aged man who isn't exactly happy with the direction America is taking today....
"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." ~~Thomas Jefferson
"Who will protect us from those who protect us?"
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. ~ Thomas Jefferson
"None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free." ~~Goethe

What the fuck did the media think was going to happen?

It was going to happen no matter what we did. It takes a strong man to keep tribes from fighting each other for top position. Tito, Kadaffy, and Huessin are three I can think of. When they "left", instant civil war. If the US had faced that historical fact, instead of nation building, we would have saved much blood and treasure. As we pulled out (remember Mission Accomplished?), we could have supplied both sides with equal equipment (like Hunger Games), let them kill each other until a winner came out. Then, as usual, we could kiss that guy's butt, pay him off, and have stability until the next time. Every POTUS since FDR/Truman wants to leave every battlefield with a Marshall Plan - it ain't gonna happen! When you bloody a guy's nose, you leave him enough dignity to get up off the floor - not clean him up, buy him lunch and a new shirt and HOPE he likes you from then on. He's not supposed to like you, but understand the consequences of screwing with you EVER again. That's a WIN in my book. BTW - we'd better get a Constitution loving strong man pretty soon or we'll be involved in our own civil war because of the present administration!
If I recall rightly, the three dictators at least kept peace by keeping people who hated each other from killing each other. I agree with your assessment, Blue.

I agree with you 100%...
