Or...,and I am going off of decades of concrete fact here, the people who have been stearing the ship into conflict and after conflict each with catastrophic results should no longer be the captains despite their extremely long record of experience with failure.

I am often haunted by memories of the people I could have killed but did not. Why, why didn't I bomb people and occupy their land? Let my hard-earned lesson stop you from making the same mistakes I made.

That Trump's decision was made in face of overwhelming military, CIA and Establishment opposition may be the best thing about it. AND, it should be acknowledged that it took a self-certain personality like Trump's to do it against such intense pressure and scorn.

I agree in principle, but the motivations here are unclear and his behavior to this point so questionable that we have no idea if the gain will be worth the cost. Still, we shouldn’t have been there in the first place. Or in 2001. Or in 1990.
