[MD] Intellect battles the [immigrant] barbarians

[Arlo Bensinger]

[Platt]
So are you saying you regret Reagan's policy of preventing Iran from taking 
over Iraq?

[Arlo]
I regret that we enabled and stood by as a brutal dictator deployed 
chemical weapons on civilians (Hell, or deployed them PERIOD!). I regret 
that we considered human rights violations by his regime as acceptable so 
long as they served our political interests. I regret that we sold arms to 
BOTH Iran and Iraq, with no moral fiber ruffled whatsoever so long as the 
killing destabilized the region. Even if I grant (which I don't) your noble 
concerns in containing Iran, the way Reagan and the republicans went about 
it was deplorable and immoral.

[Platt]
And while you're at it, what is your policy regarding Iraq today?

[Arlo]
I've tried going down this road with you before. Its pointless to try to 
walk it again.
