#2 It seems to me, that the US needs to try some new ideas for the 21st Century:

1. For once, let's try not supporting ridiculously corrupt and inept governments, despised by much of their nation's population, just because they look like compliant puppets to us.

2. It is time to let go of 19th Century national boundaries that were drawn by privileged Europeans, who did so without consideration that they were putting incompatible populations under one putative flag (Sunnis, Shiites, and Kurds, foe example; or Pashtuns, Tajiks, and Hazaris). Stop trying to preserve "Iraq" or "Afghanistan" - which are imaginary "nations" in the first place. You cannot put lions, hyenas, and sheep into one enclosure, and expect them to form a stable government, and live happily ever after.
