I can see in 10 to 15 years possibly a lot less a whole middle east united against the west.
I fail to see how "western intervention" against Gaddafi Duck, led to this incident.
The actual reason they'd all be united against the West is :
a) The "west" generally (but not unequivocally) supports the democratically run state of Israel
b) The "west" intervened military to reverse the illegal invasion of Kuwait (alongside Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia and others)
c) The "west" intervened militarily in response to a major state-enabled terrorist attack (about 11 years ago)
d) The "west" intervened militarily nine years ago to remove a genocidal dictator and spent the next seven years trying to stop various state-sponsored factions of the "religion of peace" slaughtering each other indiscriminately
e) The "west" intervened militarily nearly two years ago to prevent another benevolent dictator using tanks, artillery and CAS against a rebel militia in heavily built-up areas full of non-combatants
f) It's easier than confronting the contradictions of their own religion and politics and their inability to make rational decisions without the assistance of various shouty, beardy clerics.
Answers on a postcard please.......
