    RUBIO: Well, it’s not nation-building. We are assisting them in building their nation.

    RUBIO: The most immediate responsibility we have is to help them build a functional government that can actually meet the needs of their people in the short and the long term. And then ultimately, from that we would hope it would spring—

    FOX NEWS HOST: That sounds like nation-building.

    RUBIO: Well, it’s not nation-building. We are assisting them in building their nation. We have a vested interest in doing that.

    The "alternative" to nation building is "chaos".

    These people are insane.

    So the U.S. government helped Iraq build a new government, which resulted in the chaos we have now where the people of Iraq rallied around al-Maliki, who is a Shia leader who used his power to go after Sunnis and that created the environment that was conducive for ISIS to come in and create all of these problems.

    Now this dip$#@!'s idea is for the U.S. government to help Iraq even more? National building didn't work the first time so we need to throw more money at the problem. Typical BIG GOVT neocon.

    I am a libertarian. I am advocating everyone enjoy maximum freedom on both personal and economic issues as long as they do not bring violence unto others.

    The future Governor of FLorida doesn't really need an Iraq strategy.
