Failure, failure, failure. Will imperialists ever learn?

USA have failed in Iraq. Saddam and his evil regime is deposed, but Iraq is in chaos, torn apart by ethnic and religious hatred, and blind violence. USA have failed in Afghanistan. They deposed the Taliban, but now Afghanistan is torn apart by clan wars. If we go back in recent history, the Vietnam war is still remembered as America's No. 1 military and political fiasco.

It seems like political-military interventions usually fail. Someone might point out the Korean war as successful for America and its allies. That, however, could be discussed. Let me just say that the fact that North Korea still exists cannot be considered a success for American foreign policy.

Not even WWII was a complete success. WWII was followed by the Cold war, a Europe divided by what Churchill called "an iron curtain", with most of central and eastern Europe ruled by the chairman of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. I would not call that a success.

My bottom line is: Mind your own business! If you make the problems of other countries your problems, their problems truly become your problems. Or, as the hippies would have said: "Make love, not war!"
