A lot of times it is simply a matter of the lesser of two evils. Often this country has supported a regime that appeared legit in the beginning and then turned into something else later. This country has been in a damned if we do damned if we don't position for a number of years. We have done things that brought condemnation that seemed like the right thing to do at the time. We have not followed up on things at times that have caused even bigger problems. If hindsight was foresight Castro would have died long ago. If hindsight was foresight the middle east would have been dealt with when it was a much more do able deal than it is today. World politics creates strange bedfellows. At time it makes me wish that we would just say to hell with the rest of the world's opinion and do what is right about a lot of things - turn the military loose and let the diplomats sort it out when the military is finished. Say what you will but the world would be a better and a safer place for everyone when it was finished - We want nothing other than what we have - we are even willing to share what we have with anyone that needs it - but I, speaking for the WE am damned tired of being crapped on by pissant governments from pissant little European (read Freench) cuntries (sic).
