He forgets to mention that US policy was "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" and in turn forgets to mention people like Marcos, Franco, Noriega, Pinochet, Saddam Hussein who weren't the democratic factions in their respective countries but enjoyed US support. He doesn't mention that containing Communism was highly costly in terms of blood and money (Vietnam for one example); that doesn't make it wrong by any means but we should be aware of what it costs to make containment of Islamists a full time job so to speak.your pal, Fred |
