We can thank Jimmy Carter for Iran. We can thank George Bush II for Iraq. We can thank Obama for Libya and Syria. This is what we get for “regime change”. Was the Mideast more manageable in 1976 as opposed to 2018?
Considering it had just finishing fighting 2 major wars that brought the US and Russian on the verge of fighting, NOT it was not.
The Mid East has not been “stable” since 1914.
If you really want to thank anyone...thank the British and French for the mess that is the mideast. Nobody's hands are clean.
If you want some background to the quagmire that is Israel... listent to this great podcast called. "Martyrmade". Just go to the first episode and start it. LIsten for at least the first 10-15 minutes before deciding if you love it or hate it. It's informative.
