Really Old Man Bush should have finsihed the job during Desert Storm. We may not be dealing with what we are dealing with now if he had done then what is being done now. All Clinton did was lob a few missles. Recent history since WWII says the US tries to set up stability in a defeated region and tries to bring stability to the region and can't. Why did Japan and Germany work and Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq not? Though Vietnam now seems to be coming along better. I think the latter are much poorer contries and will never be able to support themselves and thus a strong free and democratic free standing government won't hold together for some reason. It takes a strong centered economy and a people that are government centric. Hence no strong government, becasue the people there really don't care. Not that they don't care about themselves. They don't trust governments it seems. So they topple easily and a dictator has an iron fist and keeps the people in fear. It's not right, they just can. Just my opinion.
Step aboard those mighty ships, and set sail for distant shores.
But I have now lost track of it, in a time gone long before.
We can all get through this thing, some when, some way, some how.
But I was so much older then, I am yonger than that now.
