I sorta question this. Sure, 30 years ago, we had vital interests in the middle east. But today? We're a net exporter of energy (which was the reason we were highly interested in the past: energy). Why do we care now? Other than humanitarian, why not just let them tear each other apart? Eventually they will tire of it, and come to peace on their own. We've shown time and again that we can't force peace on them. And I don't think our interest in the area are nearly as acute as they used to be. The Suez is the only thing I see, and it's practically unusable because of some well-funded yahoos firing missiles and drones in the Red Sea.
