But let us also not forget that there are thousands (millions I assume) of people living in those countries who don't want further war and bloodshed. Mostly women I suspect who're really rather fed up of their sons and husbands being killed, of being denied education and respect, of being treated like dirt.
I think the allies have lost less than 10,000 servicemen throughout the entire middle eastern conflict, whilst it is reported that 120-130,000 civilians have died.
Warmongering for our own ends is one thing, but let us not tarnish all those living in that area with the same brush.
