@HotD Yeah sorry you jumped ahead of my wordy ass. I agree with pretty much everything in your post, although I think our reasons for messing with the middle East from the beginning were a hell of a lot more about bringing Iran into a bargaining mood and depowering the Saudis, both of which have been accomplished at this stage. But obviously from a moral and ethical standpoint that behavior makes us look very, very ugly.
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
