The UN has little power and influence. Of course few leaders in the ME accept Israel's existence. Neither had any bearing on the war. If it were up to me, I'll withdraw all our troops. However, Obama is continuing the war in Iraq until at least 2010 and is ramping up the war in Afghanistan. That means more dead American soldiers.
I'm surprised you know of the Iraq/Iran war. Good for you. Iran is now a huge threat. Obama will have his hands full. I wouldn't doubt it if Obama started threatening Iran with military strikes in the near future.
Why surprised? And that's all true I suppose.
I do believe that we should withdraw all our troops at this point, we've involved ourselves into areas of politics where we don't belong for too long now. The Middle East is in part what it is today because of us.
