With Iran, Obama can end America’s long war for the Middle East
What Jimmy Carter began, Barack Obama is ending. Washington is bringing down the curtain on its 30-plus-year military effort to pull the Islamic world into conformity with American interests and expectations. It’s about time.
Now, without fanfare, President Obama is effectively revoking Carter’s doctrine. The U.S. military presence in the region is receding. When Obama posited in his second inaugural address that “enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war,” he was not only recycling a platitude; he was also acknowledging the folly and futility of the enterprise in which U.S. forces had been engaged. Having consumed vast quantities of blood and treasure while giving Americans little to show in return, that enterprise is now ending.
The exit from America’s misadventures in the region is through the door marked “Tehran.”

US is the balancing force between the Iranians and the Arabs, iSlamis and Israel, China and Africa and Russia and Syria. US cannot disengage completely.
What Obama is trying to do is to ease tensions with Cuba and Iran and destroy the Reagan Doctrine of the Evil Axis.

Nobody said this is going to be a cakewalk but pretty much everyone agrees is lot better than launching an unprovoked war.Hellsangel wrote:A train wreck on the way.
