America can't take credit for Afghanistan. Gotta hand that one off to the Ruskies and Pakis. The house was already trashed by the time America got to the party.
Now Iran...we'll take Iran. Sponsoring a mass murdering dictator in the Shah just because he could be "controlled", and shared western values (the nice shit, not the ideologies). His wife bathed in milk while their people starved to death by the hundreds of thousands. Yep, our bad on that one.
