If it weren't for propaganda, we would have found the will to exit those wars well over a decade ago.
- ss108 4y agoLeaving Iraq earlier would have been fucked up. We would wrecked the country, destabilized it, raised the problem of sectarian warfare, and then bounced. We still basically did that, but at least helped it with ISIS before leaving. As it is, we arguably owe it more. You can see what the result of leaving Afghanistan has been. We should have devoted more resources to nation building there.
