Suppression of the funding of terrorism – which is a means of warfare. The fact that he middle east is a low trust low competency civilization not capable of producing the trust and trustworhty behavior necessary to produce sale organizations of social, economic, political, and strategic success, and therefore has to resort to terrorism, which these untrusting and untrustworthy and demonstrably incompetent people demonstrate, is no different from the conduct of war.

So these countries warred by either aggressive conquest (Iraq) repetition of aggression (Iraq), fostered terrorism (Afghanistan and Libya – for some reason Pakistan get’s a pass), or constraining the principle financier of terrorism in the world, Iran, and it’s efforts to destabilize the region (syria), and Iranian participation in the collapse of the only mertious country in the middle east (Lebanon), by taking advantage of lebanese tolerance for islamic activism.

There are three bad actors left in the word: Iran, Russia, and China. They are the remaining countries that seek to restore the age of empires and reverse the western innovation of the production of the sovereign nation states defended by federations around a core state.

These revisionists seeking to restore empires where the elites can prey upon the people (because that’s what all three countries do).

The anglo-american mistake was not letting Macarthur in China and Patton in Russia end both empires permanently, which let them attempt to capture Iran, which in turn we placed the Shah, who was then overthrown by these primitive barbarians that are a threat to the Iranian people, their neighbors and the peace and prosperity of the world.

No more empires
No more world wars
No more subject peoples.
Everyone carries their own weight.
Everyone free, engaged in peaceful trade, and the production of goods, services, information and commons for the people.

No more immorality making excuses for primitivism.

(BTW: I notice you didn’t mention the USA saving of muslims in europe when slavic europeans and in particular russians sought to exterminate the muslims in the balkans.)
