Nothing in the past 50 years:

Creation of Israel

It was their land in the first place...They got approximately 13% of what was promised them.

Putting the Shah of Iran into power - over a democratically elected govenment.

Selling weapons to Iran with weapons purchased with CIA cocaine money in exchange for releasing hostages from day one Reagan took over.

The Shah was infinitely more just and Democrat than the Ayatollah...Who is a tyrannical dictator. "Democratically elected" indeed...Why is it leftists like yourself overlook corruption and fundamentalist communist or Islamic dictatorships and defend them and their respective tyrannies by saying they were democratically elected?

You can thank that brilliant tactician, Jimma Carter for the ushering in of the Ayatollah...Go ask an Iranian refugee what he thinks about that nincompoop Carter and his forsaking of the Iranian people into the dicatorship it is now.

Helping Saddam into power and helping him keep power (CIA way back and selling chemicals/Reagan).

Yep, thanks to Jimma Carter Iran became a massive problem and Reagan and friends saw a way to circumvent the communist friendly Democrats by trading arms for hostages...It was successful.

Training Osama bin Ladden to fight the soviets (one hundred stinger missiles missing).

Probably wasn't a good idea joining forces with Joe Stalin, against Hitler, but the communist spies in America thought it a good idea at the time...What is interesting about that is the Republicans didn't politicize the war like the Democrats are doing to Iraq now.

Shall I continue?

Don't even get me started on the Saudi's or Quatar. [/B]

Why, your foot is already in your mouth.
