We all like to pretend it never happened.

But what about on foreign policy?

I think he's done a lot of good things.

I've generally supported what he's done on foreign policy.

This thing over here, though, is a whole new thing.

And what I'm saying is that I'm not convinced that this is in America's best interest or that it was necessary.

And no one in a position of power has made the case for why it is.

And when they do make the case, I'm immediately informed by pundits that the case they made was not actually the case.

and that I should know that, yeah, they're saying that, but that's not really the reason.

There's some other reason that they, the pundits, can explain to me, but the administration cannot.

Is there any reason, though, is there any reason to think that, let's say the ceasefire holds, and I don't know how likely that is to happen.

Let's say that it does, and then so then this is the status quo.

Whether or not this was worth it, whether or not it worked, whatever that means, because as we've established, we don't really exactly know what the goals are.

um that's not something we can judge right now and and that's that's the other other frustrating thing about the war proponents is that they're like as soon as the ceasefire was announced you had people saying you see it all worked out fine it's been 10 seconds i mean yeah if if this goes bad i'm not saying it's going to go bad because we're going to have a nuclear war i'm not i know maybe there's some people say oh it's going to be a world war it's going to be a nuclear holocaust

I am not saying that I think that most skeptics of the war aren't really saying that.

Maybe some of the loudest voices are, but most aren't.

I think most of us who are skeptical are saying that, yeah, it might work out fine in the short run, but there's no reason to think that in the long term, we're gonna be in a better position with Iran than we were before it.

And there's good reason to think that it might end up worse because what history has clearly shown us, including the recent history of the Middle East,

is that when you create a power vacuum, if they've even successfully done that, which I don't know that they have, but even if they did do that,

especially in the Middle East, what happens is the power vacuum gets filled and it's going to invariably be filled, not by like the nicest, most democratic, most liberal minded secular people.
