The choices that the US faced - (a) standing by and letting the USSR control the middle east, along with the rest of the planet, or (b) resorting to a full scale nuclear exchange with the soviets or (c) supporting anti-sovient madmen as proxies against pro-soviet proxies - all seem to be lost on people.

Let's see now. Absent the Iraq-Iran war (which was started by Iraq, not Iran), the USSR would have controlled the Middle East? Is that right? How would this have come about exactly?

The Soviet's stated ambtions were world domination. As the last time I checked, the middle east was part of the world, it follows that it was included. The Soviets were very active in the middle east, one of their most critical long term ambitions was (1) to control western access to oil supplies, and, (2), even more importanly, to control that area in order to have easy naval access to the Indian ocean since one of their largest problems militarily was that they only had access to international waters via the North sea. Most of our cold war activities in the middle east were designed specifically to thwart those ambtions. From supporting Israel, to establishing the Shah of Iran, to Saddam, we played a chess game with them in the region that, for all of our bad moves, ultimately had the desired affect (well, I mean unless, like most lefties, you actually wnated the Soviets to win).

Just apply historical hindsight to see that military meddling in the area (or any area, one could say) is almost always a bad idea. The Soviets wouldn't have had any better luck "controlling" the Middle East than we've had. Our involvement in Afghanistan was minimal, and yet Soviet ass was thoroughly kicked (just like ours in Viet Nam). The only controls any nation can exert on another that seem to have any lasting power or positive effect are economic and cultural, and the Soviets had neither deep pockets, nor a culture of personal freedom. We have both, although both are currently being depleted at an alarming rate.

Ah, but you forget...he does this ALL the time. This is why it is futile to discuss anything with him. Besides, according to him, it's all in the Qu'ran anyways so it's actually irrational to question anything.

I note that you have made no attempt to answer the question. I can give you points for consistency, however. Just as the problem of anti-US terrorism provides Bush with an excuse to invade a country not involved in it, so the problem of Soviet expansionism provides an all-purpose justification for any and all US foreign policy interventions.

I answered your question directly, the Soviets would have taken the region by default given a power vacume created by the US not acting through what ever proxies in the region were the most convinient for our purposes or that could be propped up by us by what ever means necessary. Say what you want to about the means, the end was not a nuclear holocaust or a world subjegated to Moscow, so obviously we did something correctly. And, BTW, you're welcome. But you are correct, just as the left never appreciated the danger of the USSR, and was horrified at its final defeat which gave the US unparalleled hegemony, any success we might have elsewhere, including a perfectly justifiable and legal invasion of Iraq, is also seen as a dangerous increase in AMerican hegemony by the left. It is perfectly understandable that the left would feel threatened by such an overt exercise in American exceptionalism. Nothing is more important to the left than 'balanceing out' the capitalistic and social power of the US - regardless of how dangerous the threat that is required to do it. But get used to it, we saved the world from fascism, we saved the world from communism and we are going to save the world from Islamic fundamentalism, and in the process we are going to save it from the totalitarian leftists of the west.

That may be true. But it isn't because they hate Muslims, it's because they are too busy pursuing their own interests. It isn't right to wage jihad on someone because he is too busy to help you.

What the US needs to do, to confirm with its own elated standards of political correctness, is to have as its next President, a Muslim woman of African and Asian lineage, who is also gay. Then the rest of the world will have to shut up for 4 years :-D

Imagine israel attack on a muslim country,52 islamic states ppl would produce enough anger to force a Muslim state to go agains Israel and ultimately USA..
They have fought two wars before.
From Wikipedia :
On May 14, 1948, before the expiring of the British Mandate of Palestine on midnight of the May 15, 1948, the State of Israel was proclaimed. The surrounding Arab states supported the Palestinian Arabs in rejecting both the Partition Plan and the establishment of Israel, and the armies of six Arab nations attacked the State of Israel. Over the next 15 months Israel captured an additional 26% of the Mandate territory west of the Jordan river and annexed it to the new state. Most of the Arab population fled or were expelled during the war. The continuing conflict between Israel and the Arab world resulted in a lasting displacement that persists to this day.
The first one was fought when their country was one day old. This country has been around now for more than 50 years. They must have grown some since then.
