[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] So, let me get this straight. It is bad to criticize foreign policy of the past. It is okay to criticize foreign policy of the present. Therefore, by that logic, it must be wrong to criticize the Clinton administration, right? What Omega seems to fail to realize, is that the criticism of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East -- and to be fair, Carter got us into the Afghan thing -- dates back to another old policy called 'Containment', which got us messed up in this tiny little Asian country called 'Vietnam' as well. As some of you who actually have a passing familiarity with history may be aware, Vietnam and Containment policy were protested long and hard in the 60's. U.S. foreign policy has *always* been criticized. Yet, now Rob says it's bad for us to critique stuff that happened in the past. Omega ammends that to say it's okay to critique stuff as long as you critique it when it happens. What Omega fails to realize is that it *was* critiqued when it happened! And it's still being critiqued! Whatever. [/QB][/QUOTE]
