For sure it is a long-standing and terrible mess over there at this time: I doubt that we as a Nation can do anything constructive over there without further becoming emished in an un-win-able situation.

Perhaps its time to tell the entire Middle East that if they want any form of our help, they need to first stop finger-pointing & resolve some of this mess on their own. [Yes, that would include Israel & the Palestinians, and also the Saudis & Syrians & Iranians.]


In today's world, I doubt that the reputation of sleeping giant could be anymore harmful then all our present labels. ...pjwky
