The Middle-East mistakes are always of the same form: we depose one faction and replace them with a different faction of the same people. Look at history for the correct answer: depose the ruling faction and replace them with your own puppet government. We’ve been waiting since about 700 A.D. for any decent (forget democratic) Mohammedan government to remain in power for more than a couple of decades. We can now see the Attaturk government in Turkey for the brief interlude it was. Anybody who studied world history in high school prior to 1965 could have predicted this, but the whiz-bang elites running America were clueless, and still are, and, for whatever reason, will remain so.
