Good point. Where were we eight years ago? We had a bogus appeasement agreement with N. Korea that they violated every day while we pretended nothing was going on. We sent our Sec. State there to be Kim's propaganda tool and pose for photos. We had refused Sudan's offer to hand over bin Laden on a silver platter. 9/11 was well on its way to happening partly because of this. Our president ordered pointless missile strikes to deflect attention from his own scandals, having nothing to do with national security. Same president's most frequent WH visitors were both terrorists - Gerry Adams and Yassir Arafat. France liked us, which I consider to be scandalous in and of itself. And Iraq continued to buy off U.N. members and skirt Oil for Food sanctions, while we and the Brits enforced no-fly zones.
I'd say a lot has changed there and for the better.
