...for Iraq two decades ago (can you believe it's been that long?!), but here the Trump regime really takes the cake. It's not enough to pave over the entire history and culture of the Middle East with miles of concrete and McDonalds--that was the neocon program--no, the Trump "leadership" apparently wants to personally select an "acceptable" leader and then somehow "make Iran great again", Soviet-style. It's not the first time Trump has expressed these kinds of delusions about what would in fact be a completely dysfunctional command economy (run by idiots).
