Why are the Middle Eastern countries in perpetual turmoil?


The Middle Eastern region, including the north African states, are in perpetual turmoil, armed uprising, mass protest, regime change, civil wars and whatever you can name it, as long as it is about destabilizing a country, you can find it in the Middle East region. In the north you have Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, the Palestinian non state and Israel. In the south you have Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and to the east there are Afghanistan and Pakistan. And to the west, there are Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia etc etc.

There are two common factors in these countries, one is instability and war. The other, you guess.

The countries in Latin America used to be in a similar state with regime change and assassinations of their leaders a regular affair. These countries were also in a state of flux and instability. There were uprisings and rebel groups waiting to over throw the legitimate govts. Today, Latin American is like an oasis of peace. The turmoil and threats of regime change is past.

What are the two common factors that contributed to the peace and stability in the region? One is the absence of interstate conflict and subversion. The other factor, you guess?

OK, the other factor that is common in the Middle Eastern region that contributed to the existing state of constant turmoil and instability is the presence of the Americans. The Americans claimed that they have an interest in the region and thus have the right to put their fingers into the pot to stir shit, to promote regime change, to support rebel forces and insurgents against legitimate govts.

The other common factor that contributed to the state of peace and stability in Latin America is the absence of American interference. The Americans have been booted out of South America and with the door slammed shut in their face. As a result the Latin American countries could live in peace and concentrate on economic development, and to determine their own affairs the way they want it.

South East Asia has enjoyed four decades of relative peace after the Americans were forced to leave Vietnam and the Philippines. Today tension is again brewing in South East Asia with threats of war very imminent. What is the new factor that contributed to this new state of instability? You guess.

Ask why is the Korean Peninsula in a state of perpetual tension and at the brink of war? No it is not the North Koreans. They are just the straw men put up for bashing.

You are free to think that the world will be in peace if america is taken out of the equation. Unfortunately, I doubt so.

Be it external plot and manipulation or internal conflict and strife, whence there must be war or uprising to settle the issue, fighting for justice is a must; even if it means bloodshed. A short agony is better than long term suffering. Let war settles the score if need be.
For the Middle East, it is not very accurate to say that the problems are mainly due to foreign plan, instigation and interference. The Countries that are mostly rule by despots that cause their very own citizenries to live in great inequality.
As for Asia, there exist two to three, if India is included, nations that have the potential to be as influential as the US is today and in the Past.
The US will not want to lose its' imperial position but the Challenges are getting stronger by the days. By hook, crook and ploy, the US will want to hold on to the World Number Position in military might. The only way the US can remain competitive in the market place is in the sales of weapons. And it can only have a big say in the market place for oil, the most essential item, if it remains Number One in military might.
It is not to say that the US cannot be Number One without military might, it can be Number in Technology and even food production. However, its' political leaders want more than that as they have done throughout History. They are in wanton need of Imperialism and Hegemony for vainglory.
Anyway, the Human Species is no different from other species. The Law Of The Jungle applies to it as naturally as it is in the Natural World.
Blood ust flow, whence it stops, death sets in.

An alien invasion of the third kind would most likely force all the countries to unite together rather than fighting among themselves. Maybe that what the earth really needs.

I am no expert, but is there any country in South America that can challenge the US? Obviously not, so that is the reason why they probably left that area alone, for the time being.

The Middle East is rich in oil, and has to be under the US control, one way or another. If not directly, then by proxy, which is where Israel comes into the picture to stir shit so that the Iraqis, Iranians, Afghens, Arabs and what have you fighting each other. Divide and rule is so much easier. Another factor is the fear of the Russian and Chinese influence in the Middle East coming into the picture. Iraq and Afghanistan had been sold American democracy, but internal strife is still very much a daily occurance. Meanwhile, the Americans are reaping all the benefits from oil and weapons sale.

In Asia, China is economically growing in influence, though hardly a real military power yet. But military buildup is accerelating and the US is obviously trying to counter this. So, another divide and rule strategy is on the line. What better way than playing the other Asian countries against China. So, the shit stirrer is again trying the same formula here in Asia. They talk about trying to bring peace, but peace is the last thing on their minds.

White man come to Dark Continent and Middle East and draw imaginary lines on pieces of paper they call "maps".

After many prosperous years, white man is thrown out or leaves, and the place falls to shit where many disparate power groups all jockey for position -- based on ethnic, religious and political lines.

International borders (imaginary lines on 2 dimensional representations of the earth's surface) constrain "legitimate" governments, which gives dictators guaranteed and legally defined geographical territory from which they can do whatever they like to the population -- until such point of course where the population rebels...and the place falls to shit.

Then the people, once united in overthrowing usually a ruthless and brutal monster, now fracture into, or return to a variety of groups whose relationships with each other are constantly shifting -- back-slapping allies one moment, sworn enemies exacting atrocities on each other the next.

America is very clever to exploit these events, even resorting to starting some of them and backing legitimate government or rebel militia....whatever is in America's best interest.

Obama already said that he has the authority to go into any country -- with or without the consent of the sovereign government -- to hunt down, capture or kill (assassinate) and enemy of America, even if that enemy themselves were US Citizens. Edward Snowden really needs to watch his back.

Anyway, fuck the Middle East. The people get the warlord or government they deserve.

Cuntrees in poor and fucked up SE Asia have got their shit together and, painfully stitched together a fabric of CIVIL SOCIETY where citizens enjoy a high level of security and growing wealth, so fuck those raghead camel fuckers of the Middle East. Lots of people died horribly in Asia. Governments slaughtered their citizens. Corruption was rampant. Except for HIV - which came later -- we had to eradicate or at least control the same diseases they have: TB, cholera, typhoid, polio, malaria.

And lest we forget: the Middle East is populated by idiots who believe in an Imaginary Friend, who it seems to be: A Very Angry and Cruel ASSHOLE, who apparently gets his shits and giggles from watching his believers kill each other in his assholey name.

President Morsi from Muslim Brotherhood was elected democratically one year ago. Why is he not allowed to finished his term? Apparently Morsi has rattled Americuh, Israel n Iran.

The Muslim Brotherhood has won elections but was denied for years. They have been maligned and bullied for years n they hv been patient to the Western meddlings to the extent that their leaders jailed by the corrupted puppet despots installed by the Westerners.
Middle east from Syria to Saudi has been ruled by despots , so no prizes if you guessed who installed them.

The people are shedding their blood for their rights and their childrens'. The people have had enough and ampled warnings has been given - they are claiming their rights now. And they are not afraid to die.
