This & the sale of A123 are the biggest assaults on common sense this country has ever seen.
Kind of like giving arms and chemical weapons to Saddam all thru the 80's- so we could go blow the p*ss out of the country and kill folks right and left 10-20 years later... :???:
We need to get our nose out of all those countries- and instead of stuffing money into the sandpits use it to build this country back up...
I don't think you really want to go into how Carter screwed up the relationship that Nixon built with Iran, then all of a sudden Iran and Iraq were in a war for control of the Middle East.
It was either help Iraq or lose another ally to the Khomeini regime.
We also helped Afghanistan in the Soviet invasion, which was the right call too.
But dictators come & go, just as they have in Egypt............ :roll:
