Back 16 years ago when I started posting, that was my argument about Iraq. It was just like Vietnam. The Shia and Sunni's were in a marriage, and we shouldn't physically get between them. I was right.
Said the same thing about Afganistan. Not only that, I predicted we would spend decades over there for nothing. One conservative told me if it took 50 years, we needed to stay. I still say Wow on that one.
The conservative argument was........to look at South Korea and Germany as to how well that turned out. I tried to point out that the situations were not the same. All we had to do in South Korea and Germany was to sit and our mere presence would deter the OUTSIDERS from coming in. There was no marriage problem under the roof in South Korea or Germany.
This time around with Israel, I haven't figured out what the MAGA's want? But I am cool with Biden sending some ships over there to send a message to outsiders from entering Israel's home. And sending military stuff is ok too. All that deters the outside aggessors. Other then that, we don't need to police Israel's marriage.

Going to make a new prediction. Just like Bush got caught with his pants down after 911, you knew he was going to obscure his massive error with a massive response. He did, and so will Netanyahu.
