I think the Middle East problems of the current day are due to:
Obama disrespecting Israel, like his moronic insistence on pre-1967 borders, among other things.
Obama not leaving Iraq in a secure fashion.
Obama turning his back on a reliable Egyptian ally.
Obama fomenting civil unrest in Libya.
Obama trying to negotiate with the Taliban, leaving Afghanistan in a bad place.
Obama spiking the football regarding bin Laden, which created more terrorists and put US special forces in danger. His hubris also likely led to the outing of a Pakistani informant, which will make future recruitment of informants much more difficult.
Obama enabling Al-Qaeda in Yemen by turning his back on that nation’s leadership.
Obama SUCKS.
Those are all problems, though he wasn’t exactly handed Iraq and Afghanistan in good condition. The current fundamental problems in the Middle East to me are:
1) Islam, and
2) Obama’s support of Islamic terrorists and their allies.
