Are you suggesting regime change for all countries not like the United States? From my point of view, you are just reinforcing that regardless of government or demographics, the US is invited and paid to stabilize a region or offer protection from the one stirring the pot. In this situation, it's Iran's radical religious leadership.

You may want to research the Saudi - Yemen relationship and how they got to where it is now. Your comments aren't in line with the reality of the situation.

Anyways, how about Iran attacking them tankers? Ya'll still believing the tail is wagging the dog or coming back to reality?

You're an unstable thinker.
I say that we should not do the bidding of the Saudis,  as the Saudis are not a good government.
You question if I want regime change, not just for the Saudis, but every country that's not exactly like us. I don't know where you got that from.
Just because I criticize a government, does not mean that I want to see my government violently end that other government.

Before 1979, we cooperated with both Iran and Saudi, even though both were terrible, and our cooperation allowed both governments to be more terrible than they would have been otherwise.

After 1979, the Iranians violently shook us off, and became a different kind of terrible.

Now, instead of simply doing business with the Saudis, we came to view them more and more as allies, even though they never stopped being terrible.

I am only advocating leaving the whole Persian gulf region alone to fight its own battles.

I'm only providing input based on what you type. If it comes off as unstable, it is because you criticize...something. Then you fail to make a point.

You could have just typed your last sentence as everything else is opinionated inaccuracies.

So, you advocate for isolationism? Yeah, having no foreign policy and retreating into a bubble works well. Some might say the topic of this thread was exacerbated by a lack of M.E. foreign policy from the last administration.
