Vainglorious, IMO Australia's involvement in Middle East conflicts has been about:
. The international struggle for control of Middle Eastern oil assets.
. The ideological / religious prejudices of our political 'leaders' and especially those of Bob Hawke, John Howard and Tony Abbott.
. Wetting the pockets of the USA [eg. John Howard with GW Bush].
. Acting in a fascist manner to protect and extend Australian corporate interests.
. The destruction of infrastructure and economic capacity throughout the Middle East.
Yet again Australian Liberal PMs committed Australians to wars without an understanding of the complexity of issues, without regard to the consequences for Australians and without humanitarian concern for the welfare of the peoples on the receiving end of our military interventions.
Through their actions, it's my view that John Howard and Tony Abbott along with Tony Blair and GW Bush unleashed the Hell on Earth Saddam Hussein warned about and thereby breathed life into terrorism throughout the Middle East.
