Simple minds are unwilling or unable to consider the complexity of foreign policy, particularly if an Obama policy might actually be working with little or no cost to the US in $ or boots on the ground at risk.

They might agree that Iran and Hezbollah are assholes but not a potential threat if there were to be a US or NATO military intervention in Syria.

They certainly dont understand that it is not in US interest to act w/o a mandate and broad support within the region.

Or they claim that Libya is supported by a major terrorist organization.

Or they suggest that US actions are ALL about money, oil, power, control but cant explain how Bosnia fit into that scenario or why GHW Bush didnt invade Iraq for the oil and control when he had the chance.

Simple minds are satisfied with simple solutions.
