Bush and the Republican's disastrous foray into the Middle East needs to come to a close. They don't hate us for our freedom. They don't want our government. They want us gone.
The Iraq war destabilized the entire Middle East. It didn't work. It didn't ALMOST work. It was never close to working.
I understand why the GOP did what it did. They were simply tired of failure and were as sure that bringing democracy to the Middle East would work as they were sure that Obama would lose the last election. Sometimes, you need more than imagination. I suspect if they knew anything about the Middle East before the invasion, they wouldn't have invaded. But that's what happens when you think learning is for snobs.
But it's water under the bridge. I think the last best hope was when Obama put together a coalition of other Middle Eastern Countries to fight Isis. Something Bush never did.
So did it work? Nope. Instead of attacking Isis, they attacked each other. At least he tried with something sensible and logical. A coalition like Bush's that included a dozen people from half a dozen Caribbean countries was an insult to intelligent people.
It's time to pack up and come home. Leave them alone. Let them figure out what they want. And when the winners emerge, we can deal with them. Until then, no more Americans should go to the Middle East. And looking at Obama's current strategy, it looks like he probably agrees.
