        This might be true for a select interest group, but this statement epitomizes the notion that foreign policy is a tool used for domestic political purposes.

        He should have been more specific than region. Saudis want more american interference because of course that makes the saudis greater and we are forced to buy more oil because war is a thirsty business.

        I know Gen Allen. Would like to see this quote in context. Most likely he is saying smart leadership instead of m ikitary aggression and regime change

        Maybe by "American leadership" he means arms for ISIS.

        It is not that complicated.. Rump Sunni states would definitely like to see American support for their bloc. Lots of "thirst" their (even among ordinary ppl I wud imagine), tho they may not hv high opinion of US ability to deliver

        Eurocentric commentators seem to think "those people" hv no agency if left to themselves, but there are competing blocs, with VERY violent differences; Sunni bloc wants SOME superpower to help stop Iran and vice versa..

        It's confusing but there is a code. When the say "middle east" they mean "the leaders of a collection of corrupt repressive petro monarchies and our bestie Israel".
