The American diplomacy seems to be very confused, they can not solve the puzzles in the middle east either, the imbroglio of the Afghan, Pakistan region is too complicated for them, one can add Iran and India into it, and not forget the Russian ambition in the area too.
They themselves are jumping from one alliance to the next, and in their confusion they blame others for doing so. It is their game of power and hegemony, that to their dismay does not seem to work well in those areas, but the few successes they have enjoyed from the ethnic disparities and one might add from desperate groups to live a better (American dream) life even if it is to be virtual in essence, just like a dream, and just to get them out of their troubled life, closing their eyes and minds on the fact that the ones who are encouraging this virtual dream are the ones behind their real life troubles. This plays well in hands of those who seek to keep these Areas in troubled waters, since it is one the richest if not the richest Area in the world in natural resources.
One has just to take a look at Africa, the other richest Area of the globe and how it was exploited for centuries living it like a carcass for any kind of vultures to feed on.
Those are interests and more precisely conflicts of interests, that we should all understand as laws of the jungle, proving again that despite the technological advancements, and the so called high education, the "forces" that control the Western world, live by savage laws, thoughts and deeds. Hence their opposition to Islam and Muslim countries which stand for more humane behavior, but depicted today as more savage than those real savages, the only difference it they could not make Islam less humane, but use some "Muslim" desperate groups (of their own creation as it was proven most of the time), to stir trouble and go to extremes known only in the Jahiliya (the pre-Islamic world). All of it being designed and directed by these same savages to justify their presence and forceful interventions to enforce this shaky presence for the sole purpose of controlling the wealth and the allegiances of the people of these places to fit their own purpose of hegemony.
It reminds one of any pack of animals, where one will always want to overwhelm the others to submission, for him to take the best and biggest part of "the meal", the only difference is that these "Humans" apply the intelligence they were endowed with to enhance this instinct of supremacy over the pack, instead of suppressing it.
