La ruinosa guerra de Iraq

Pues no había pensado esto:

Saddam and Taliban would have sold their countries for a fraction of $600bn, paid politely. Sunnis would kill all Shiites or vice versa for much less. Northern Alliance would have dealt with Al Qaeda for a couple of billions at most. America can easily afford its wars, but why should it? Spending tens (Iraq) or hundreds (Afghanistan) of target’s GDP on war is bad strategy.

Por esa cifra, los talibanes, incluso Sadam hubieran entregado el país educadamente. Por esa cifra -incluso por mucho menos- los sunitas matarían a los chiitas, o viceversa.

Seamos realistas, aveces, la izquierda tiene razón: Left is beautiful. Sometimes.
