I'd be more interested in how you think the US has "improved" the middle east, when I feel history shows clearly that any military or political involvement in the middles east on the part of the US is solely out of self-interest.
I wish.....I really could not give two shits about the middle east. If I had been the immortal all powerful ruler of the USA over the last century I would not have helped/oppressed any other nations. That includes Vietnam, Korea and both world wars. As far as I am concerned the rest of the world can go butt fuck one another into oblivion while we get rich selling to both sides.
Lainer for president.
someone mentioned here the wikileaks cable about saudis wanting allies to strike Iran ( imagine Iran calling for the the same thing....anyway... ).
For all the hundreds of thousands of cables released its one of only few covered in the US mainstreammedia.
A stupid person might think "oh boy i guess our concerns are well founded about iran if other countries think the same!". Truth is Saudis have thought that way for decades. Reason is that IRan is ruled by shi'ites, Suadi Arabia by sunnis. Its why Kuwait and SA supported Iraq ( all countries with sunni leadership ) to attack IRan, but Kuwait and co didnt want to pay up after the decade long war almost bankrupted iraq.... but thats a different story.
Iran is a local powerhouse, well educated, modern islam nation with more democracy than any other country in the middle east(dunno if you can call israels apartheid system democratic...).
Saudi arabia is afraid of that, since they got nothing but oil, and the only ones keeping them in power are the USA and the oil guys getting rich of selling the oil, in return for spending recordbreaking 11% of their GDP on weapons. But let not kid ourselves, countries like the UK have politicians get rid of criminal investigations regarding tornado sales... to sell them more eurofighters. Germany secretly sells SA hundreds of Leopard 2 tanks cause ... you know iran might invade even though they havent attacked anyone in hundreds of years and its very likely they will go all the way through iraq....right..... As excuse the German leadership besides saying "secret lol" was "SA provides stability in the middle east" really? so did saddam.
Just to clarify the notion that Saudi Arabia is endangered cause of Iran.
