Middle East

When I was in the Navy, I saw the world, some good places and some bad places. By far, the worst was the middle east. As far as I am concerned, the middle eastern countries only want two things from the United States: Our money and for us to fight wars for them. In the Gulf War, being the Supply Officer of a Seabee Battalion, I was responsible for getting our latrines pumped, getting potable water, getting supplies and equipment and contracting out other services like transportation. I talked to them on a daily basis. They told me if Israel enters the War, they would switch sides and fight with Iraq. They couldn't be trusted or believed. That is my experience with middle eastern countries. I would like to know if anyone has ever had a positive experience with any middle eastern country. Has anyone else been to a middle eastern country?
