  • If we found WMDs, why wasn't there a big show?

    My friends keep saying that we found WMDs in Iraq. Considering the flak GWB was taking for starting the war, I would think that he would have invited in the media when we found Saddam's stockpile, and made it so visible that not even the most left-leaning paper could have said "still hasn't found anything." So what happened?

  • Post-WW2, has the U.S. ever successfully affected another country in the long term?

    The U.S. provided weapons to Afghanistan so they could fight the USSR. Afghanistan ended up as a repressive regime offering shelter to Al-Quaeda.

    They gave helped Iraq to fight Iran. Iraq invaded Kuwait.

    They supported Batista. Castro took over, and has been opposed to the U.S. ever since.

    It seems like the U.S. doesn't see the long term in its foreign policy. Have they had any successes since 1945?
