text: Obama inherited a nightmare not of his own making. The Middle East has been an ugly mess for some time and is currently engaged the the worlds worst religious war probably since the Christian Reformation. He has attempted to back the US away from these religious and tribal fueled civil wars withdrawing most troops, admittedly he goofed on Libya by picking sides. We are slowly been getting sucked back in because of terrorism concerns and long term alliances. The political and military complexities of this region are staggering. The US needs to protect itself agaist terrorists, and Obama has a pretty good record there, but picking sides in this complex cat fight is a guaranteed losing proposition. The scary problem with Trump is he does not seem to have any interest in the complexity of actual policies or history, preferring simplistic interpretations and slogans. But he will do great, after all he said so, and we are going to win win win. Who needs to know more?
