Iran is the root cause of trouble in this region. Anything other than dealing with them directly is simply Euro style kicking of the can down the road. Sometimes it really is simple.

Ultimately, this started back in the 70s, when the Ayatollahs were able to use resentment of American interference to take over Iran and turn it into a Islamic dictatorship.
But aside from the hostage situation under Carter, Iran was largely ignored in favor of what was perceived as the more important issue of the Cold War.
Unfortunately, by the time the Cold War was over and we were able to turn our attention to other issues, the people in charge of our government no longer had the will to take on Iran, even when Iran began itself more and more of a problem. And then Obama decided that they could be trusted to be the ME superpower, despite their stated intention of destroying Israel.
Not surprisingly, Iran has become a major threat to peace, not only in the ME, but across the world, due its dealings with Russia and China. We didn't crush this beast when it was fresh out of the egg, and now it has gotten large enough to wreak havoc.
Obama is among the Leftists who wants to destroy Western Civilization and build a Marxist utopia on its ashes. He promised to "fundamentally change" America, and he made great strides toward the Leftists' goal.

It's sad humans respond better to fear than to the prospect of peace and prosperity, Obama way overestimated humans but at least he tried.

He's still at it.
Yes, we should cut off the head of the snake.
The proxies will then die.
