Mr Sudhir Bisht has lucidly brought out the past events that led to the numerous conflicts in the Middle East. The interpretation of Middle East by the different actors is interesting but geopgraphically I feel Middle East is Middle East. All of us believe that the conflict is take control on the commodity oil which is very precious to the developed countries. I am of the opinion that it more than that. It is to ensure that the Suez Canal is controlled so that the economies of concerned countries do not get affected.
More important is as long as Israel and other neighbouring countries like Lebanon, Syria and Jordan exist, the Middle East Conflict will erupt even for trivial reasons and excuses.
The Middle East is the battle ground for US of A to show its supermacy in this Unipolar World. But this recent conflict has shown that US of A can also not call the shots at all times even in this region. Hence, the Proxy War between US of A and other players will always be fought in the Middle East arena.
