historically, some of what you state is true. Bushmonkeys machinations created the Iraq situation, not Obama. He just inherited that mes from neocons. Yes I wish we could disengage completely, but with the oil under that particular real estate, the business interests will never let that happen. And if Obama tried and was getting somewhere on completely disengaging our forces and interests, he would not last long. Israel and oil are key. Don't get me wrong, the Jewish people deserve land of their own. They have every right to the land they possess as any other group. The Palestinians are pawns of right wing Israeli and amerikkkan RW thought. Period. Throw a little religion in the mix, voila! Middle east cauldron of hate orchestrated by purely self interested parties who can gain whatever they can out of the hate and animosity on both sides. Yeah I know about Balfour and all the rest. Nothing can be done. If only peace in the middle east would prevail one could hope there is a chance for overall peace. I fear human beings as a whole, are not enlightened enough to envision a world at peace and anyway the military and political PTB would not be able to control the masses with fear of 'other' so they would not allow a general peace anyway.
'Swords into plowshares', I doubt it will ever happen. I am not disagreeing with you, just my take also.
