After 9/11...
Going backwards in time:
- Syrian refugees flood Europe
- Isis terrorizes Shia in the Middle East
- Isis is created by disaffected and persecuted Sunnis
- Obama kills Osama, which doesn't really affect much of anything
- Iraq becomes a puppet of the new Middle Eastern power, Iran
- Obama keeps Maliki in power too long
- Bush keeps Maliki in power too long
- Shiite Maliki ruler persecutes Sunnis
- Sunnis kept out of the Iraqi government by the Shiite Prime Minister,Maliki
- Bush puts Shiite Maliki in power
- Bush de-Bathifies Iraq, throwing all Baath Party Sunnis out of power
- Bush invades Iraq
- Bush throws the Taliban out of power in Afghanistan
- Bush fails to find Osama bin Laden
- Bush invades Afghanistan
- Osama bin Laden kills 3000 Americans on 9/11/2001
So:
- Starting a war is easy
- Knowing what the hell is going to happen in war is impossible
- Ending a war is very, very hard
So:
- Maybe we don't elect a presidential candidate who promises to go out and win a bunch of wars for the American people.
