Jag, until I get into office, this is gonna go on going on. We support one revolutionary faction because it supports our interests. A generation later, we support a new revolutionary faction to counter the old one. A generation from now, the same thing will happen.

I'm serious, first thing I do if I get elected is to put up a huge freakin' brick wall around the country. If my administration got involved with anyone else, it would be after due consideration, and if it was a situation where we were needed.

Kosovo, and the problem with the genocides there: Needed.
Desert Storm: Not really needed.

Desert Storm was about political gain. Poppa Bush, I'll wager, wanted to have some American presence there, regardless of size. He was with Reagan, he knew of the Contras and US involvement in the Iran-Iraq war. All the same, had we just stayed in that night, ordered some pizza or something, played Atari, Desert Storm might not have been needed. Iraq would have been weaker, Iran would have been weaker, and because we sayed out of the whole thing, they wouldn't have come after us.

(NOTE: This is armchair political science going on here. If you have to blast me...make it one head shot, quick and clean. Thank you.)

When it comes to how things are, one quote looms foremost in my mind. From "Jurassic Park" of all places. I might get the wording wrong, but the core idea is the same. I leave you with this:

"You were so preoccupied with if you could, you didn't stop to think if you should." - Jeff Goldblum

Mike in...hmm...2020 sounds like a nice year. There we go. "Mike in 2020. Together, we can leave them the hell alone."
