Israel's war with several middle eastern countries

I'd say the most important thing anywhere is, how are the people living there being treated? Israel's got an abysmal record when it comes to its treatment of Arabs, since its very inception. Up until now, it's basically ruled the arab territories it's taken largely by force through brute force, but brute force can only get you so far, especially when you start hitting countries that have more than a few rocket launchers at their disposal. And now this...

Medvedev is a clown and ignored for the most part.
 
The 6 day war really showed the Arab's love and respect for Israel huh?
The 6-day-war was preemptive on Israel's part. The Arab League was going to go to war with Israel and that was obvious. By launching a surprise attack day(s) before the Arabs did, Israel was able to decisively defeat them.

If you look at the outcome, in the long run most of Israel's neighbors started on the path to negotiating a permanent peace. In the end, Jordan, then Egypt did. Lebanon fell into chaos and tribal warfare internally, leaving only Syria as an active rival. Then Syria fell into civil war.

It's pretty clear if the Arab states leave Israel alone, Israel will leave them alone.
 
They toppled a Leftist-Socialist government seen at the time as likely to align with the Soviet Union to install the Shah that was firmly going to align with the West. It was a geo-political move in view of the cold war and politics of the time.

Mossadegh was no saint, the Soviets would dearly have loved to control Iran and its oil, only fools like McMoonshi'ite and Nutberg think otherwise.

Here is a far more detailed analysis of that era which you might appreciate, as with so many times in history the truth is far more complicated and nuanced. Claiming that it was perfidious Albion controlling a naive US is truly laughable.

With 20/20 hindsight the North Koreans look brilliant. .....they understood early that the only thing the American Empire understands is strength and brutality.....modern Western people are stunningly regressive.
