re: #98 Lidane

That’s just as stupid as Krauthammer’s bleating in the WaPo yesterday.

Krauthammer, like Rumsfeld, Cheney, Kristol and a host of others, is a bitter old relic.

All seem unable to come to grips with the fact that their dream war in Iraq—which they fantasized about for over a decade before it even started— turned out to be a total disaster, easily one of the worst examples of military adventurism in American history.

As such, their doubling down on such interventionist foreign policy shows they’ve learned nothing, and are probably past the point of no return.

They really don’t get the simple central fact in all this: the US cannot run the world indefinitely in a unipolar configuration. With only 4% of the world’s people and territory, the US just doesn’t have the resources to maintain such an ambitious project much longer.
