....hey I got enough right....I did sleep through SOME of the class and to mention I have done a lot of drinking since then.


Yeah many leaders are not very aware of history else they would not have made the mistakes they did.
Clinton to Somolia
Clinton to Bosnia/Kosovo
George W. Bush to Iraq

Now what George H.W. Bush did (that's Bush #41 the former VP to President Reagan) was good because he protected our Allies (Kuwait and Israel) but did not disrupt the government's control in Iraq.

HOWEVER by that same line of thinking he let people get punished big time by Saddam Hussein.

But the funny thing is all those involved Islam (not that I have anything against religion but it's tricky to deal with. Shi'ites and Sunni's....they have been fighting forever and we are stuck in the middle of them) and despots who murdered many many people....well it's not funny but it's you're damned if you do and you're damn if you don't
