Sadam & Kadafi were tyrants but it was their territory to rule and that they did - their methods were what the people of those countries knew and understood. They cannot fight for their own democracy or country, they do not have it in them. They are too worried @ losing their male dominance over women. EU is in for a big, big problems
and Merkel needs to be removed for her unrealistic and damaging concepts and their consequences.

We were in those countries, sacrificed our soldiers, our monies and came away with NOTHING - no oil, no stabilization of the region but a much WORSE area now.

The Russians will be Russians - we tolerate worse and without any benefits either.

Hopefully oil is on the way out with clean renewable energy sources TRYING to expand if greedy, reckless, cancer causing big gas & oil would step aside or join this 21st century's quest for new technologies and leave the damaging effects to our health in the 20th century where it belongs.
