The US unilaterally attacked N Viet Nam. We lost big time. The US was early on in the Korean War. Stalemate. The US unilaterally attacked Somolian war lords. We lost.
But it was Bill Clinton who kept us out of the Balkan until is was time to settle things. Success. The US stayed out of the Persian Gulf until Kuwait was violated. Phenomenal success. The US stayed out of WWII until it was clearly time to settle it. We won big time. The US stayed out of WWI until finally required to settle it. If Wilson's resulting international program had been supported domestically, then settlement would have clearly been better.
My scenario for a Middle East solution is based upon this well proven history. The death rates must be higher and equal. Currently, not enough Israelis are dying to create a demand for peace. Best that we stay away and make sure death continues equally on both sides. Currently it is a one sided slaughter and we are supporting the aggressors. Peace therefore will not happen.
