I'll agree with you on one general issue - the middle east is a bloody mess.
The my enemy's enemy is my friend approach however, which is the Arab/Muslim way, is a proven failure.
And as for Obama suddenly buddying with the Ayotollah, true - an absolute basket case of a play.
And I'll agree to disagree on who is the worst culprit when it comes to Middle Eastern powerplays - although those Soviet weapons with Iranian fingerprints all over the place sure tell a sorry tale.
