The recent downing by Iran of a US drone in the Persian Gulf, together with bomb attacks on tankers nearby, has once again put the world on the brink of war.

Hey LEGO,

"It's a good thing that Max Atkinson was not a journo in 1942, or he would have written garbage articles like this one explaining how it was the cruel US economic sanctions on Imperial Japan that was the cause of Pearl Harbour. WW2 was the USA's fault."

McCollum Memo
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCollum_memo

"The memo outlined the general situation of several nations in World War II and recommended an eight-part course of action for the United States to take in regard to the Japanese Empire in the South Pacific, suggesting the United States provoke Japan into committing an 'overt act of war'."

A. Make an arrangement with Britain for the use of British bases in the Pacific, particularly Singapore
B. Make an arrangement with the Netherlands for the use of base facilities and acquisition of supplies in the Dutch East Indies
C. Give all possible aid to the Chinese government of Chiang-Kai-Shek
D. Send a division of long range heavy cruisers to the Orient, Philippines, or Singapore
E. Send two divisions of submarines to the Orient
F. Keep the main strength of the U.S. fleet now in the Pacific[,] in the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands
G. Insist that the Dutch refuse to grant Japanese demands for undue economic concessions, particularly oil
H. Completely embargo all U.S. trade with Japan, in collaboration with a similar embargo imposed by the British Empire

"How about the USA just pull right out of the Middle East and let Iran invade Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and the Gulf States?"

Iran's not the aggressor.

Armchair Critic,
yes, but how to convince the indoctrinated to seek info rather than seek confirmation of what they want to believe ?

avoid an economic meltdown whose consequences in shortage of food, medicine and a viable trading and banking system may see a breakdown of law and order, with rioting in the streets and all the violence and chaos

Iran obviously wants that, why else would they do what they're doing ?

Iran is not even a C grade "country", the world is not on the brink of war, it was a Brexit distracted Britain that slapped them down. That it was slapped down stopped it from doing something stupid, remember Obama and his neophytes are no longer mismanaging things.
