Unlike in the aftermath of World War I, none but the Middle East's own children are to blame for the turmoil that the region experiences today.

Syria with the hundreds of thousands of dead and millions of refugees, has become the most significant humanitarian disasters of the recent history.

The turbulent and unstable state of the Middle East invites us to reconsider every possible option in order to reach longstanding stability and cooperation.

Obama and his team understood that public opinion has been heavily affected by "war fatigue" after two lengthy wars in the Middle East and avoiding any more conflict in the region has become priority.

Since the beginning of the American occupation, Turkey has consistently been one regional actor that has been most supportive of Iraq. It has consistently exerted the most effort towards Iraq’s consolidation.

The difficulty with dealing with ISIS is also partly because of its demographics which has a lot to do with the use of multiple strategies.

The attack on Mosul and the fall of the second-largest city in Iraq may also have some serious consequences regarding the future of international and regional relations in the region.

Multilateralism, in the absence of a clearly articulated policy goal and willingness for international leadership, will not achieve results by itself.

In fact, two elections in Syria and Egypt generated further pessimism about the future of these countries, the fate of democracy and the stability of the region as a whole.

There is nothing to be hopeful about an election that was produced by a coup d’état orchestrated with the political support provided by the United States, financing by the Gulf and violence by the Baltajis.

President Obama's policies on these matters will have serious impacts on U.S. popularity in the world.
