Let me guess. This is why reams of our money is going there. Always has always will. The will to power and survival of your own is all that counts. It's got nothing to do with outposts in the middle east or democracy in the middle east.
Democracy is a delusion.
We're not wired for it as a species. Go out into the wilderness sometimes and see how the animal kingdom acts. The Ruling elites over the submissive many. It's the law of nature. Mankind is part of nature.
