Here is the recent story of terror, not that is much different than the same old stories of terror that have been told for so many generation. But since we have a very short term memory I list the recent wild west excursion in middle east:

FACTS
- 9/11 attack
- Invade and occupy Afghanistan
- Invade and occupy Iraq
- Surgical attacks on Pakistan (too big to Invade and Occupy, there is limit even for the superpower)
- Do some selective pruning in Somalia
- Get down and dirty in Sudan
- Clean up operation of various sots in north Africa
- Get busy in Yamen - expect first Us advisers on the ground followed by "Special Forces" then regular grunts

Predictions for this decade:

- Will need more engagement (nice Special Forces) in Bahrain
- Get some help for Qatar
- Jordan will need some attention
- These darn DRONES are cute and need to be used more
-
-


This will go on for the foreseeable future, I have yet to even a mild attempt to deal with root causes ---- Corrupt and undemocratic but friendly REGIMES in the area and YES you wouldn't believe it by the big one "Unconscionable" occupation of Palestine.
