It seems that the only 'legacy' of the current Republican regime was shown initially during the party political convention... the entire event was a brag of all the battles they started and won. Social improvement, help for the needy? Screw that - we're all about having bigger guns and blowing things up!
In a few short years, Iraq will be the nucleus of revenge attacks on the US - putting friends and family at risk for me - and yet again they'll be problems brought on, created by the decisions made today.
