//How many eons did the people of the middle east spend trading and living peacefully together, until western societies stuck their noses in? //
wars and conquests have been part and parcel of every human society almost from the dawn of time and in that respect, the middle east has never been any different. for instance, the Sumerians and Akkadians dominated Mesopotamia (Tigris and Euphrates) from the beginning of written history (c. 3100 BC) to the fall of Babylon in 539 BC, when it was conquered by the Achaemenid Empire. It fell to Alexander the Great in 332 BC, and after his death, it became part of the Greek Seleucid Empire, and was then conquered by the Parthians in 150BC. and in all that time, no sign of the Americans, the British, or any other western civilisation, until the Romans. to suggest middle easterners were a peace loving lot until whipped up by western warmongers is a little wide of the mark.

Trump throws a wobbly and within hours the US takes out their top general.
Iran can fire missiles but although potentially deadly they have nothing like the technology of the US or the firepower and they know it.
To do nothing though is to look like weakness.
A wise president will play this cool but so far this unwise one has done just that.

YMB 08:40, yes, this allows Iran to save some face, as long as there are no casualties the septics will call it quits and I think Iran will too, they know that the septics can flatten anything they have from 1 aircraft carrier with a few presses of a button, so, privately, they'll be keen to calm it all down and publicly they'll claim "victory against the great satan" etc for their public consumption.
