I wonder if the OP is suggesting that Trump will pick a fight thus leading to yet another conflict in the ME that will somehow help him back into the WH?
There are a couple of mideast wars going on right now.
Matter of fact, that's been the case for the past 10,000 years. Mindless violence and bloodlust is what they've always been about. They'll use any excuse for conflict.
Whatever the USA does is irrelevant.
Too bad Obama didn't listen to you. He dropped bombs on 7 Arab countries to do just that. Got 10s of 1000s killed there too.
Why will most American Jews vote democrat knowing this is the direction the left is headed?
There is a lengthy book by Norman Podhoretz called Why are Jews Liberals or something to that effect. The reasons go all the way back into the Old Testament; fairness in dealings, kindness to strangers, etc. Many of the Jews of today do not realize that people who have seized the liberal or progressive mantle have deeply perverted it. Special and destructive pleadings are the order of the day. Rights of "transgenders" to disrupt normal processes of waste elimination replace the rights of African-Americans to educational and employment opportunities as key human rights. The movement has gone from the sublime to the ridiculous.
Way back in the early 70's I had to use the services of an eccentric old lawyer. He supposedly had a genius IQ. Had graduated top of his law class. The man was very poor because he basically would take cases for people who had little to no money. anyway. his hobby was the study of the middle east's various religions. He told me once there were over 150 separate sects in the different peoples there. He said they had blood fueds that went back thousands of years. Think the hatfields and mcCoys………..He said there will never be peace over there...……...
The only possibility for peace of any kind will be a "Pax Israelicah" or something like that. The Israelis will probably align, more and more publicly, with the Sunni Arab powers of KSA and Egypt to pacify large swaths of the region. Israel has the intellectual might and ability to use military power. And increasingly will be able to leverage their offshore natural gas reserves. KSA, Jordan and Egypt control large chunks of real estate. The trick is to pacify, and not in a gentle way, Yemen, which controls the exit from the Red Sea, and the areas around the exit of the Persian Gulf.
As for a war, Iran may try to stop this happy condominium. I'd bet on Israel in any such confrontation.
NICE job of conveniently overlooking the fact that GWB started a far more deadly/costly conflict of NO benefit to the US.
If U.N. Security Council resolutions are not to be meaningless parchment he had to start that war. How it was executed is a different story. He should have danced in, taken out Hussein and gotten out.

The US benefited somehow from Korea (Truman - Dem.) & Vietnam (Johnson - Dem.)? WW2 (Roosevelt - Dem.)? WW1 (Wilson - Dem.)?
