David Brooks wrote an op-ed in the NYT a few days ago, postulating how the current shootout between Israel and Hamas, is just one several current, or latent, overlapping conflicts.
This conflict overlap could then merge into a Perfect Middle East Firestorm, that may take decades--or more--to extinguish.
Opinions among friends range from:
If were all lucky it'll be the...Thirty Years' War Redux...
...to...
...More like 100 Years War, with off and on flare-ups...
...Or even the Crusades in reverse.
No matter how long the flames burn, Team Obama has certainly been less than helpful as the world's "lead from behind" fire brigade...
