Great post. Additionally, Biden's show of weakness was just the thing that America did not need (and, 3 million known illegal "immigrants" into his regime, another blight on this nation).
No, Iraq was a wrong response - a thousand times no. I thought and said so then. But I thought some kind of incursion in Afghanistan was. Knowing history, I imagined NO "nation building" (what the hell is that anyway? Rent a time machine, go back 2,000+ years; NOW start your nation), no post-war humanity projects, only actions of the strong horse to crush an enemy - and necessarily a well-informed strong horse (which would automatically strike nation building from the list of goals). You want the right enemy. Send a message. But we had to fiddle.....
Nothing to be sorry for :) The Marshall Plan was our first nation building effort and it seemed to be a good a idea. But there was a basis for building there. Oh, that's ethnocentric of me. Oops.
Exactly!! A basis there for building. Re-building. The basis in Iraq and Afghanistan was strong horse, graft and corruption. We took out one and re-built a new form of it.

The improper response was the Iraq War
Spot on.
Great post.

Then again, can you think of any Biden policy — from transgender support to his handing out cash — that has not been a blight on this nation?
It's an abomination. It's surrreal.
Thank you.
