Reagan didn't start the war in the middle east. Granada Iran Contra but Iran Iraq were fighting. All other bad domestic policies mentioned are correct. Let's not forget allowing the Fairness Doctrine to expire.
That too. The folks in the mountains of Afghanistan are goat farmers. That is not to say there is anything wrong with subsistence farming. It is as valid a way of life as any other. They have been living this way, however, since before the days of Alexander. Our interference isn't really wanted or needed. They will take the benefits of us rolling in with big piles of cash, but they don't really see the need to change their way of life by much and don't really want to as a result. Honestly, who are we to tell them that they need Western-style democracy and conveniences?
