Of course, Brenda and I had a vested interest in our nation not getting involved in Iraq. (Our son was in the military) However, I felt that we had a very real chance of actually winning in Afghanistan, something that no other nation had ever done since Alexander the Great. However, the pointless excursion in Iraq and the draining of resources ended any chance of our victory.
What is worse, the second excursion into Iraq combined with the total incompetence of hillary clinton totally destabilized the Middle East, handing most of it over to the radical Islamist.
(yep our son served a tour on the ground in Iraq as well as multiple deployments flying missions over both Iraq and Afghanistan, joining his grandfather and his father ((myself)) to become the third person named Will Kirste to serve in time of war; World War II and Vietnam)
