It is said that China helped Pakistan. Pakistan helped North Korea. Iran benefitted too.

Two more things:
1)It is well past the bud stage, it is a fruit that is just ripe enough, and might fall down and scatter its seeds even further.
2)Afghanistan is not sitting pretty now (probably never was).

Russia helped China, Lax US security helped Russia. Thus we all have the US to blame for our current nuclear dilemma.

Obviously this is just a hyperbole but it?s a good example of how this kind of blame game gets us exactly nowhere.

When you have a machine that works really well and you look after it, keep it well maintained it will keep working but if your machine breaks constantly should you replace it with the same model?
Of course not, you should innovate, create a new machine to perform the task.

This is how I see US foreign policy, the machine keeps breaking and the US keeps buying the exact same model.

I see new problems in the world but no new solutions.

Here's as solutions (sort of) we have a "sins of the father" problem in the Mid-East. The old men want war and the young men seem to have no choice but to fight. If someone was bombing the crap out of Utah (well maybe somewhere a bit better than Utah) would Americans everywhere feel compelled to sacrifice anything to defend it, **** I wouldn?t be suppressed to find Canadians there mounting a defence (plastic knives and forks). The same is true for all people and their homelands.

This is what?s going on in the Mid-East. The old know only hatred and the young know only war. It?s a cycle that we are doing nothing to help, the youth need to be separated or more to the point exist where they can separate themselves from the old hatreds, form the "sins of the fathers".

Orchestrating regime change is like playing Russian roulette with more than one chamber loaded (say 3 for arguments sake), and some people (a certain president) are dumb enough to play with an automatic pistol.

One can not forget the fact that U.S.S.R committed its own share of sins too. Infact they invaded Afghanistan in the first place.

does bad things. What makes some better than the others is that they will admit that they have done wrong.

...Soviets accept theirs?
