once the Soviets were driven out, America could have used influence to keep a lid on the place
but once America dumped it, and it imploded, then America should not have charged back in
mind you, there is a middle way, which is stand off and strike from the sea as necessary
if ISIS for example masses on the battlefield, you can go ahead and bomb them, but no reason to do more
best of both worlds
isolationism and policeman of the world
just have too many downsides
with not enough upside
never get off the boat ftw
if America was gonna stay in
1979 was the time to do it
not post 9/11
that's true
