It's probably best not to display liberal evaluations about US foreign policy on this thread. Some of us might be other-wise minded.
Containment was a cold-war policy against the Soviets. Had they attacked the trade towers and the pentagon, we would have nuked all of Moscow.
That said, I do appreciate your posts.
