So, after 9/11 our goal was to win friends abroad?
I can say with some certainty that after 9/11 there was next to nothing we could have done over there that would have been "swiftly rejected at home."
And yet 14 years later (and still counting) we're still over there.
You would literally have to be borderline retarded to still buy this steaming pile of propaganda.
Well, you can't destroy the sources of ISIS militarily, unless you brutally repress the Sunni people of the region. You can destroy the organization, but you'll just have a new organization in a few years.
OF COURSE you need allies in the region. "You would literally have to be borderline retarded" not to understand this basic fact of geopolitics.
And OF COURSE Americans would not be willing to brutally repress the population. And again: what would be the point?? You can't bring "democracy" to a region by depopulating it, and if we don't want to bring "democracy" there, why are we there?
