Sure.. can see where you are coming from pk and agree.
The difference is in the word "civilized" - that drops out the window when abuse starts and leads to contempt. Whether it was the British at one time, Soviets at another or the US currently - the end result is the same - contempt and total lack of sympathy when the settlement time comes.
Only a passing
- there will never be any "satisfaction" in playing aggressive games with the Middle East. That region has survived centuries of abuse in some form or other and have successfully fought it off. Doubt they will dream of "giving up" now - it's not even on the table for discussion
