Yeah....enter into any endeavor donttread...whether you're a nation, corporation, small business, or individual and I do't care what that endeavor might be......and cling to what "might not fail."
you owe your entire existence today on Neo-conservatism, yer just too naïve to know that. Pete knows it, he's in denial, Ethereal knows it too, but it angers him. None of you like to be wrong....but...you are.
Good link. It nicely illustrates what a complex, multi-layered, confusing cluster flock the overall region is. Suspect national borders are less a player in the overall hostilities than the bigger factor of Sunni versus Shiite. Along with all the subsets/factions within those Islamic sects.
In this particular dust-up the US Air base in Qatar should be at the forefront of American interests. Trump has been typically clumsy/semi-moronic in his initial reactions. Somebody really does need to take his Tweeter away from him.
But i do have respect for Tillerson and think he is a good choice as mediator of the event. Seems cool headed with some quality diplomatic talents.

Sure it did, kids diving under desk to protect themselves from a nuke blast is very realistic. LOL Anyway the "cold war" was largely a mutual refusal of the Americans and the Russians to let go of the war economy. The closest a warhead actually came to being fired was based upon bad circitrity or a misread. The play acting almost accidently turned the whole thing into reality.
