Had we only had your wisdom to guide us back in the ‘80’s doc.

Hindsight is obviously 20/20. But clearly judging from the reaction I’m getting here it isn’t. All I was trying to point out was that historically the policy of “my enemy’s enemy is my friend” is a stupid one. And then 500 douchebags come out of the woodwork to nitpick everything I say. “We didn’t really fund Iran except for Iran contra.” Bravo.

All I’m trying to say is that in hindsight maybe we shouldn’t have funded avowed Islamic extremists just to spite the Soviets. Judging from the responses here, it seems we are doomed to repeat this history many times over.

I’m out. See you all at the bar.
