It doesn't matter if you think interventionism is wrong or right, even from a pro-war standpoint, the Iraq war was a huge strategic blunder. | Since when, does not having the support of France, Germany and Russia equal going rogue????? Furthermore now that we know that these countries voted against us so that their illegal deals with Hussein for oil would not be discovered, the light really comes true.
They made their own beds and woke up with the fleas. As far as Iraq being a breeding ground for terrorists, well at least we have an idea of where they are, and are putting a dent in their organizations. The whole time the Iraqi people are beginning to stand as well and smacking them down.
dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
