Reply #25: Yes, but "Iraq" has not done this [View All]

Let's put the blame where it lies: the ills you describe are the result of the coarse US insistence on invasion.

Washington was warned. It heeded no warnings. Washington sought division in Europe, both for short and long term gain. It achieved division.

The long-term loser, however, is the US, whose 20th century strategic framework is now in grave doubt and whose economy faces both internal shocks and, externally, rising challenges. It is not enviable to face higher liabilities and greater dangers with fewer friends.
