History. The more I read and study history, the more that the present makes sense.
For example; For years I wondered why the Allies, after the defeat of the Axis, did not go in and take out Francisco Franco, the dictator of Spain and an ally of Hitler. This made no sense to me, it was irritating and it led me to think that the leaders of the Allies were somewhat venal in this geopolitical area.
After Iraq, I have changed my mind. Now I realize that the reason they left Franco alone is that they already had enough on their plates with the Soviet Union, North Korea, China, Vietnam and Cuba. Franco was no threat at that point.
So should we have left Saddam alone? Maybe. Maybe we had enough on our plate with Afghanistan. I thought that we should invade Iraq. But that was when I believed that we had good intelligence that Iraq had WMD's.
