Donald Trump says that as president he would end "our current strategy of nation -building and regime change"because they don't work. His dislike for nation-building is shared by many , including none other than the target of his criticism , President Barack Obama.
In fact it was Obama's predecessor , Republican George W Bush , who committed the US to large scale nation building projects in Iraq and Afghanistan .
Obama discarded that strategy while trying to keep enough US influence there to prevent those two countries from crumbling , Obama's approach may not have worked' but it's not Bush - like "nation-building".
