- The civil war in Chechnya attracts Al Qaeda
- Considering the Cold War ended less than 15 years ago the country should be flooded by individuals that used to devote their lives to making the lives of americans unsafe
Point 2 here "old enemy" hence not our enemy anymore.
Communism is back in style? Comeon now explain this statement to me.
Russia in no way compares to former Iraq, at least to me. That is not to say there is no threat there just as there is in many other countries. Maybe the U.S did not approach the worlds problems in the right order. Maybe the check list of countries we should do something about was out of order. I seriously have no idea if we should have done something about the other countries first or not.
By the way I do not think the U.S. is safer now because Saddam is out of power, but I still defend the decision to have him removed. Go figure. My philosophies are a bit skewed I admit, but in the end only kindness matters, oh wait I meant in the end I hope the world is a better place. It is going to take time though. You can rush war, but it is hard to rush peace.
