Thanks for being a breath of fresh air DumbRenter.
It must be hard to go through life with no historical frame of reference. Ah yes, the good old days, when government worked. If one desires to find the source of our cultural rot, it isn’t in the Executive or Legislative branches, although the last inhabitant of the White House did his best to leave a steaming heap of junk in his wake. We live in an age where government intrudes into every nook and cranny of our lives, all in the name of molifying the agrieved. Thank FDR, and all the “do-gooders” of the left. We no longer have a constitution that means anything.
As for Iraq being a costly blunder, not opposing evil in the world is much more costly. If you doubt this, go read Churchill’s commentaries on WWII. Even with all of the to and fro, geopoliticially it makes a lot of sense.
