  1. I pretty much agree with this presentation. Sadly, the Middle East is a place where peace is not gerally possible without a strong arm government in place. The culture is too tribal and too religious. Both divisive influences. When the US went into Iraq, I was hoping for a better life for Iraqi's but I was naive. I didn't realise Iraq would be flooded with fanatical religous fighters from neigboring states who turned the invasion into a war against the infidels. I didn't understand the Middle Eastern world view where Arab peace is effectivelly an oxymoron (with few exceptions). An opportunity lost.

  2. You're obviously being disingenuous. Iraq war - a democracy eliminating a despot (USA playing global policeman). Ukraine war - a despot invading a democracy (USA playing global policeman). You wanting NATO to stand with Iraq and defend a despot makes zero sense. Syria was another case in point. USA answered the call of the Syrian people to protect them from despotic Assad while Russia defended the despot. I'm assuming you backed Russia?
