Colin Powell is a good man and I believe Obama will heed Powell's words, we hope. I know you get miffed when I bring up Bush but this reminds me after we had been engaged in Iraq for some time, many questioned why we were there as the war dragged on.
Sure, good has come out of it by why in the hell does the USA always have to bail other countries out? Why do we always have to stick our noses in someone else's business than our country suffers for it? The same thing is now happening in Iran. Do we go there and oust the leaders of that country so that we here suffer?
