re: #275 tradewind

Freedom spreading is a good idea, as long as there’s not a worse despotic regime coming in to replace the ousted dictator.
Distasteful as he was, I doubt the Shah would be threatening us with nukes.

Right, because we never came to regret propping up Saddam Hussein for decades, or Reagan turning a blind eye and obstructing UN investigations into Saddam’s use of gas, providing him with training, arms, biological weapons strains from the USCDC, Pentagon satellite intel on his opposition, and giving his government a pass for murdering 37 sailors aboard the USS Stark.

So, let’s not pretend you have a goddamned clue as to what you’re talking about, ever, m’kay.
