I think I may have mentioned that it wasn’t until the US got “kicked in the

Yeah, but in fairness -- until Japan came after us, the war was someone else’s
problem.
Harvey correctly identifies our psycho foreign entanglements as THEE huge
problem for the U.S. -- I certainly doubt the average U.S. citizen understands
much about foreign affairs and much less about when our affairs are being

On a slightly different but still related note, The Memory Hole has this for
more on the rift that may exist between Shrubs Sr. and Jr.:

“In international terms, we tried to establish a model for the use of force.
First and foremost was the principle that aggression cannot pay. If we dealt
properly with Iraq, that should go a long way toward dissuading future would-be
aggressors. We also believed that the U.S. should not go it alone, that a
multilateral approach was better. This was, in part, a practical matter.
Mounting an effective military counter to Iraq’s invasion required the backing
and bases of Saudi Arabia and other Arab states.”
