“Everywhere you look, if there’s trouble in the region, you find Iran,” says the US defense secretary James Mattis.
However, the fact is that wherever there is trouble, anywhere in the world, and more so in the Middle East, you find US Mad dogs, Mad Bitches and their equally mad handlers.
Take Iraq for example. Of course Saddam Hussein was ruthless towards those who opposed his rule but as a secular leader, the had given fair degree of peace, progress and prosperity to vast majority of citizens with diverse religions and ethnicity. Saddam Hussien had a Christian Tariq Aziz as his top adviser and foreign minister. And look what the US invasion has done to Iraq? Apart from killing over a million innocent Iraqi men, women and children and turning into paupers the formerly well-to-do families, it has given rise to monsters like Abubakar al-Baghdadi the likes of which Saddam Hussein never allowed to emerge, and nipped them in the bud.
And knowing what removing strong leaders does to states with diverse population groups, the US did the same to Libya.
And then it is doing much the same to Syria.
And now it wants to mess up Yemen.
But for Yemen, the Saudis are also to blame. With a Saudi-led Muslim Military Alliance having over three dozen members, there was simply no need to encourage a character like Donald Trump to jump in. Perhaps Saudis have weak memories and have forgotten how the US leaders had threatened them at the time of rising oil prices, while they also ignored the fact that for United States, the only real ally in the region is Israel, with which Donald Trump now has a family bond by virtue of his daughter - now turned Jewish - marrying a Jew who happens to be fanatic Israel supporter, and who the US President has now made a virtual boss in respect of Trump’s wild, haphazard actions meant to be his Middle East policy.
