I find your comment very relevant and I agree with all of it but I miss some references to the influence of not Levant nations in all this mess.<p>To your comments I would like to add:
the Russians invading Afghanistan, the CIA arming and training of all kind of &quot;rebels&quot;, the invasion of Irak, the protection of the House of Saud by the EUA, the interest of Israel in being the only strong nation in the area, the support of dictatorial regimens (and their removal) by the &quot;western powers&quot;, etc..<p>It&#x27;s almost impossible to solve a problem without understanding it. And this is not a simple problem.
