You know, it's just so EASY to pick out the fallacies in Gramp's logic

.If you send in Western military forces, then you risk the backlash from the people, from the legacy that was left in Africa because of the era of colonialism.”

As Iglesias says

Is it possible that John McCain is really not aware that the whole "legacy of colonialism" issue is also kind of a sore spot in the Middle East? Here for the first time I actually have a ray of hope about a McCain administration's foreign policy. I'd been thinking that he was motivated by grotesque moral and strategic errors, but maybe he's just kind of dim-witted and lacking in basic factual information. Maybe if somebody tells him that the whole Arab world (and Iran) was carved up by the British and French empires in the wake of World War I, a light bulb will go off in his head and he'll change his whole approach!

Oh, but wait... No Oil. Or something else the US wants. Let's not forget that John McCain said yesterday, while talking about getting troops OUT, that he was going to leave a bunch of troops IN... Can you say Military Occupation via Permanent Bases?
