US
National Interest in the Mideast
The US military
is involved in perpetual police work in the Mideast that is not in the national
interest. The
Western powers redrew the borders in the Mideast as well as those in Central
and Eastern Europe at the end of World War II. A comparison of
European maps now with ones from the 1980s shows the
sort of reorganizing along religious and ethnic grounds that will occur in the
Mideast. It is time for to allow the
locals to determine their own borders and political organization.
