    “A new government has already been decided upon”

    If only. The Gaza Strip is one of the handful of regions that could actually benefit from US regime change. Not because we’re good at it, but because the strip is so monumentally fucked as it is.

      The only way I think we could honestly do worse is if we built gas chambers or nuked them. I’m sure the US government will find a new way to fuck it up though.

        I’m expecting them to support a new “legitimate” government which will turn out to be worse than ISIL and join up with aliens to commit a multidimensional extermination of humans.

          The Monkey’s Paw curls. First contact is with an alien race with technology beyond our wildest dreams and the ability to solve all our problems. However, it turns out they were the inspiration for Christianity and due to a very crucial passage of the Bible describing a ritual to be registered in their database of “saved souls” having been lost to time, no one is saved.

        If the US can become the common enemy that finally unites all the various factions then that seems like a real improvement for the region. Maybe not for the US, though.

        I don’t think there is any entity alive big or small that could find a way to bring peace to the middle east.
