Quote:When you are combatting a very vicious regime I think you have to go on the theory that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

 

Foreign policy isn't for the weak of heart. I'm sure you're aware of some of the real beauties the United States supported in it's cold war against USSR/communism.

 

  There are many foreign policy decisions by the United States I strongly disagree with.  Not just by the current U.S. Government.   Both major political parties in this country have had leaders that have caused substantial damage to the United States.  

 

   Yet,  a mega size difference between the U.S. Government leaders we have had compared to what has occurred around the world is as follows:   Where would most of the people in the Western World prefer to live,  in the U.S.  or in the countries/ leaders that Nelson Mandela supported?    At least for me,  the answer would be the U.S.  100 out of 100 times.   If I expressed my opinions in places like Cuba or Iran,  I wouldn't be here to talk about it soon afterwards.
