Michael Scheuer vs. Congress on Israel, US Foreign Policy

[Centermass]

If I lived in a place with nothing but sand for landscape, camel spiders waiting for me to present myself as a HVT, and God awful weather extremes and no starbucks anywhere close, I'd fucking hate everyone else in the world as well......

True, but think about it if the US did not put Patriot systems in place.

It was still in their best interest to not get militarily involved in the gulf war.

Which may have very well prevented a nuclear option from being exercised IMO.

A bit off topic, but I was wondering what your opinions are on if Israel and the region will ever have a political agreement or lasting peace agreement?

I have my own opinions, but without knowing the culture and ideals of the people from the region, I find it hard to assert them. From your experience and knowledge, is peace or a lasting agreement of sorts possible? Will younger generations have any influence (from either side)? Or will constant conflict always be the name of the game?

If the leaders are brave enough to swallow their ego's.

This sums it up very well; the author should know, he was head of the Israeli Security Agency/Shin Beth.
