Hope that made you feel superior.

(1,151 posts)4. we've had HUGE change
the letter next to the president went from R to D. And people on both sides have changed their stance on many issues.
If you just want to focus on military issues: we've gone from "wars" to "use of drones", and "extremely small strikes", and "kinetic military actions".

Even when accepting the Nobel Peace Prize he said that wars are sometimes justified (paraphrased).
Sorry if you weren't paying attention, or if you somehow deluded yourself into believing something that was not true. He hasn't changed. Only your grasp of reality has.
