“If American interests are at stake, then our goal should not be stalemate.”


The senator is a man who publicly embraces stupid ideas.

The quote I used as the title for this post is from him, according to the story.

It’s a stupid remark, since depending on the case it may be that stalemate is what best serves American interests.

And for that matter even a war that just goes on and on.

One thinks immediately of the Iran-Iraq War president Reagan sought to prolong as far as possible.

Or the Hitler-Stalin War so many America Firsters argued was good for America, and better for America the longer it went on bleeding both countries white.

On the other hand, I agree that we ought to just stay out of the mess in Syria, and renounce altogether the costly, dangerous, and unrewarding role of globocop of which so many respected academics and leaders of both parties are so vain.
