But then again, we don't hear much about the 7th century Islamic fundamentalist regime run by our great good friend the Saudis. You know, the ones up to their eyeballs in 9/11.
I'm an old school Foreng policy guy - a paleoconservatice (why i supported the Gulf War - remove Iraq from Keiwat.- for violation of international law - invading otehr nations) - and why Bush Sr was smart in eninding it there - and not going into Iraq - unlike his son (on cheney's orders of course) we all know the rsult of that - Iraqnam.
I support the Saudis - as our buddie - for mutual national interests. not morality, I'm no bleeding heart nor a world policeman type - US has lost its power due to foolish wars like Iraqnam and Afganistan.
if she had just stayed with self interest - like gulf war one - and so - tadoy we would still ahve Sadam to thugrry over his sheople in Iraq (thus a balence of power per Iran - and no Yeman war today (with Iraq now a "greater Iran and so Iran now a rival to the Saudis and so the Saudis fearing Iran and so the Yemni war.........etc........house of cards when you remvoe a strongman that servece the balance of power) - never would have had Zarari nor ISIS either - so no need for the the whole shit storm we got via JR (Chaney) actions.

Our foreign policy is so screwed up there is literally no hope. It's been that way since the end of WWII.
no, our foreign policy was wise up until March of 2004 with Jr's illegal invasion of Iraqnam.

Truman regretted creating the CIA, Ike warned us about the MIC,.
no CIA serves national interests - just as other nations have their KGB - if we remove the CIA they will still have their KGBs. so CIA is a necc evil for self defense.
BTW I think the Mafia killed LBJ, not the CIA due to te Bay of Pigs debacle. the CIA had no motive the mafia did. IMO.
BTW the native always pay the highest price. never the occupiers....rem as a kid hearig of the 58000 dad american solders in nam - never of the 2 million native Veitnemese (northand south). I bet "they" kids in the 70's/80's never learned of the 58k but he 2 mill instead in thier schools. I assume using donkey sense and undersading national hypocricy and its linked eduactional system.(all natios not just murca - murca and the 58 k is just one example)
I bet the algerian school books talk fo the 200k? dead in tier war against the frnce -w hile the franc txtbooks prob only talk of te french soluder dead - how many frence soldeirs died in algreria?....no clue personally. they lost so that is good at least.
