1. What were some of the missed opportunities post-9/11?
2. What if we had occupied Saudi Arabia instead of Iraq?
3. Do you feel like we’ve lost the upper hand with Iran?
My pick for #1 is energy policy. I think we should have pivoted the very next day, Apollo Mission to get off foreign oil any which way we can.
Another #1, could we have snuffed out AQ by now with better support from Pakistan? Would Pakistan be providing better cover/cooperation if we hadn’t invaded Iraq?
With #2, worth noting that the hijackers were Saudi and fanatical Wahhabism Islam originates with the Saudis.
