Nah you see a real republican would have bombed them into submission and sent in the seals to finish the job /s

Fr the only chance of winning would have been by perfectly following the rules of war, showing restraint, and working to arm dissidents and build a resistance capable of running a successful rebellion and governing well. Followed by us helping the new government build itself up. We learned nothing in Vietnam, we learned nothing in Iraq, and by fuck we managed to learn nothing in Afghanistan. We also managed to completely unlearn everything we learned in France, Germany, and Japan.

But had we learned all this we wouldn't have gone in alone, we'd've asked for the UN to call for troops to protect the protesters and worked with the international community to protect human rights.
