I SAID IT WHEN IT STARTED!

WHEN  BUSH  AND  BLAIR  [OF  USA  AND  BRITAIN]  DECLARED  WAR  ON  IRAQ  AND  AFGHANISTAN  AT  THE  BEGINNING  OF  THE  21  CENTURY,  I  SAID  IT  WAS  A  VERY  LARGE  ERROR  AND  MISTAKE.

I  SAID  YOU  CANNOT  WIN  AGAINST  AMBUSH  AND  RUN.

THE  RUSSIAN  EMPIRE  HAD  FOUGHT  FOR  10  YEARS  AND  DID  NOT  WIN  AGAINST  THEM.

I  SAID  IT  WAS  A  DISASTER  TO  GO  UP  AGAINST  THOSE  WHO  COULD  NOT  BE  DEFEATED  BY  RUSSIA.

I  ALSO  SAID,  AFTER  THE  USA  AND  BRITAIN  PULLED  OUT,  IT  WOULD  GO  BACK  TO  THE  SECTARIAN  FIGHTING  THAT  HAS  BEEN  THE  NATURE  OF  THAT  PART  OF  THE  WORLD.

AND  SO  IT  IS  INDEED  HAPPENING.

THE  LOSS  OF  LIVES  OVER  NEARLY  20  YEARS  IS  MIND-NUMBING.

THERE  HAS  BEEN  NO  REAL  GAINS,  AND  WHAT  THERE  HAS  BEEN  WILL  NOW  BE  LOST  IN  THE  MAIN.

EMOTIONS  WERE  PLAYED  OUT  WITH  BLAIR  AND  BUSH,  AND JUST  ABOUT  NO  COMMON  SENSE.

SAD,  YES  SAD,  IT  WOULD  SEEM  THE  LOSS  OF  LIVES  IN  THE  WESTERN  NATIONS,  HAS  BEEN  TO  NO  AVAIL.
