History’s Lessons for U.S. Policy Toward the Middle East

[@nbash1]

I think you didn’t say truthfully the real reason why America intervene in the Middle East. We all agree because they can .but i believe the real reason is to help Israel achieve their ambitions in dominating in the region.

The Middle East is a complex puzzle with a deep history, shaped by a mosaic of ethnic, religious, and political factions. Dr. Joshua Landis presents scattered, disconnected pieces of this intricate puzzle, making it nearly impossible to piece them together for a comprehensive view.

This is sick to watch as an Iraqi.

China has not pursued imperialism. Even at the height of its power, when it could have dominated other nations, China refrained from doing so. China’s current actions are aimed at self-defense against global imperialist threats, with the U.S. being the most dominant. This naturally brings China’s focus to the U.S., limiting American imperial ambitions.

China has a long deep history as a civilization. Europe and its progeny in America had a history of constant wars and an ethos of eat or be eaten. Though there is some talk of clashes of civilization, the true is that civilization never came to Europe and the West. Science, technology and modernity? Yes, but the ethos of the jungle, eat or be eaten, kill or be killed has been entrenched deep of the id of the West.

"...After eons of waiting, don’t miss this chance The Creator has long since arrived..." full poem: "Honest Words Growth, stability, decline, and death; such a law still exists Calamity awaits as the firmament ends In search of Dafa [Great Law] to save the people of their realms A myriad divinities descended to this world and suffered After eons of waiting, don’t miss this chance The Creator has long since arrived He spreads the Dafa [Great Law] and saves all lives While the Red Beast sows confusion with lies Your conscience will tell you what is true Man is blind to the gates of Heaven, open after all these ages We forget who we are amidst the delusion But Dafa’s truths will make sense of it all Your family awaits in the heavens above So quickly board the divine vessel and transcend this mortal coil March 15, 2012" Master Li Hongzhi (Hong Yin IV, from Falun Dafa teachings)

Rules based order for thee and not for me, America casually occupying a country and justifying it.

A realist would say because we can... are you a buddy of Mearsheimer? What communist or capitalist would say is not a way of argumentation and it is obvious that self entitles realist is not different. Being able of something is just an enabler not a motivation. So called expert.

Lots of lies especially about Iraq. Just another jerk pretending to be an expert..huh.
