I feel like it's a good decision to pull out. We let them handle their own s*** (hopefully the Arab Spring will have some kind of positive influence), and if it all falls apart... I guess we can always go back?
Sorry Sean, but I really don't think W is going be winning a who's-a-better-president competition against anyone, let alone Obama. Maybe that's just my inner Liberal speaking, but I don't think a lot of people would disagree with me.
And to be fair, once Hitler was in power, he didn't have to play the politics game to stay. Bush and Obama did and do, and that being the case, compromise is going to happen, promises will get broken.
And that's the nature of politics anyway. Whoever is in power is always doing a terrible job, and the years before they were elected are seen as the good old days. That's how it is especially true in Australia now.
Vietnam was a way bigger f*** up than Iraq and Afhanistan. They were all huge f*** ups, but the difference is that we toppled the Taliban/Saddam, whereas we were beaten by the Viet Cong. We actually got something for our effort this time.
It was definitely fuelled by it.
Speaking of: are the police just indiscriminately assaulting the protesters in America like they are here?
