Still better then Bush
Reader comment on item: Obama's Diplomatic Acrobatics
Submitted by Bill (United States), Sep 11, 2013 at 19:15
Although I have agreed with you in the past, I have to dis-agree with you on your assessment here. It is interesting you should call Obama all these names considering what an incompetent predecessor we had. The almost totally unnecessary ~700 billion and 4400 casualties for an Iraq war that no-one wanted. Being cautious about war is the least of Obama's mistakes. Way better then what happened with Bush Iraq. ...

We all have opinions on the Iraq and Afghan wars but they were not primarily about social work for non-Americans.
