We broke it, we buy it? Bullshit. [View all]

I can understand the implications in a china shop, but what the fuck does that mean in the context of the Middle East, anyhow? How do we "buy" a country, or a region? Who's the "seller?" What, exactly, would be "sold?"

Maybe people mean something like "You break it, you fix it." But there are some things that you just can't fix, especially if your only tool is a wrecking ball.

We supposedly went into Vietnam to keep people safe from Godless Commies. We went into Iraq to keep everyone safe from Saddam. We all know how well that worked.

I could maybe see evacuating the victims of an ongoing genocide, finding places to relocate them where they can live decent lives. But blowing the shit out of one people to save another group never works. Has never worked. Always makes things worse. For every "enemy" we blow up, we make 10 new enemies.
