Middle East Mess

Henry Thompson

 

It is time to rethink US national interest in the Mideast with Congress giving military aid to Israel in exchange for lobby spending. Israel spends about 10% of its national income on its military and can spend more. Most of the Middle East population migrated there following World War II with the borders drawn to split ethnic groups. The locals should be allowed to work out their own borders. For an example, compare maps of central and eastern Europe over the past 50 years.
