Again, I’m hardly isolationist, but hows that relate to us?

Theres no reasonable way the mid-east can mess with us except for via the Oil. And the only state with real nuclear capability has a strong vested interest in keeping the others out of that particular club.

I guess its cold-war thinking, in the end. “If we don’t deal with them they’ll side with the Commies!” (not a dig at you, just generalized reflection)

I do agree its not practical tho’. There’s far too much vested politically by various factions for there to be any reform. I’m just lookin’ at a fun mental exercise.

Non necessarily the commies although Israel does do biz with the Chinese, who do do biz with Iran. India is also a player, it is important for us Americans to realize that we are not the only game in town… and with our current administration are weaker every day in every way.
