Nor was Carville sucessful when Clinton sent him to Israel to advise the campaign of Ehud Barak vs. Sharon.// I opposed the war/invasion of Iraq and preferred the Bush41 policy. It took me a long time-years- to figure some things out because I am a teenage political animal but I will tell you where I am now- the Obama policy towards the Middle East is a ruinous switch for our country- far worse than the decision to divert our attention from Afghanistan under Bush43. God Bless America- we're going to need it!
