The Middle East was relatively stable until the ill advised invasion of Iraq. So where are we at since that debacle:
Republicans removed the Sunni government and disbanded the military of Iraq making Iraq the new best friend of Iran and putting Shiites in power.
The Sunni's from Saddam's former military became the reason Isis seems to be the best military in the Middle East.
Iran's Shiites are fighting Isis Sunni's so the US is now on the side of Iran.
Then Iran backs militants in Yemen which puts us on the opposite side of Iran and on the side of the Saudi's which is where the 9/11 bombers came from.
In Syria, the US is on the opposite side of Syria who have been killing their own people, on the opposite side of Isis who has taken Syrian territory and the on the opposite side of Iran which has been funding insurgents in Syria. That puts us on the opposite side of everyone.
How do Republicans fit in? Seems they want to send more troops over there and bomb everywhere. They aren't quite sure where they want to bomb, but they definitely want to bomb someone.
On top of that, Europe, Russia and China have been negotiating with Iran to come to an agreement that Iran won't develop nuclear weapons. Republicans have almost surely scuttled that probably guaranteeing that Iran will acquire nuclear weapons. The GOP solution to bomb everywhere won't work because Iran has been building their facilities deep underground for decades. All bombing them will do is unite the entire Arab world against the United States. Republicans don't understand that because they don't believe in education and know nothing about the Arab world even after their fiasco triggered all this violence.
Is that about it? Does that summarize where we are at?
