Dear Professor Russell Mead,
The problem with your article, articles, and books is their underline double assumptions (1) that States exist to compete with each other for power, not to cooperate with each other for assuring their common human existence in harmony (2) that he US (and Britain) must naturally have a say everywhere in the world, including and particularly in the region of Western Asia, they've called ''Middle East'', and which is not theirs.
Just a reminder that Russia and Iran do exist in the region as regional actors, and that Russians, Iranians, Kurds, Syrians, Lebanese, Turks, Armenians, and even Indians, Chinese and Egyptians, are all directly threatened in their daily life and existence by Islam and Islamic extremism, not Americans.
Daesh is not an existential threat to America, but it is to people living in that region. Those sick brutal murderers are a direct existential threat to people in the region, Izadis, Alawis, Atheists, Christians, Kurds, Russians, Iranians, Indians, Ahmedi Muslims, Shi'a Muslims, Ismailia Muslims, you name it, are all threatened by them to be raped and beheaded if they do not follow their traditional (Sunni) belief of Islam. People living in the region are directly threatened by ISIS and the Saudis and Wahhabis and Salafis (various sects of Sunnis) who are trying to impose their Islamic Rule, somehow successfully with their brutal methods.
In fact, if it wasn't for Anglo -American presence, there wouldn't be any Islamic State in the region, as all of them with the exception of the Islamic Republic of Iran, were directly created by Anglo-Americans (Islamic State of Pakistan in 1947, Islamic State of Saudi in 1919-20, and more recently the Islamic states of Afghanistan and Iraq under W. Bush's administration. And now, miraculously, appeared the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, ISIS, Daesh), as a result of years of Iraq's military occupation by American troops under W. Bush who led Nato into this war of occupation and regime changes.
Russia and Iran, are just trying to manage a self-defence system, both against the Islamic most ferocious and backward Rule and against Anglo-American imperialism (a word that has lost its meaning and vanished from our vocabulary for having been misused but is very real). The dominant narrative called Sunni-Shia conflict is in reality nothing but Traditional Islam (Sunni Islam) trying to impose its Rule, sometimes in most brutal ways. Killing of none traditional Muslims is now a daily routine in the region, notably by acts of terror in Iraq and Pakistan, and of Saudis direct war, notably against Shi'a in Yemen and Bahrein, and its cold war against Iran. On the other hand, people in the region are trying to defend their existence in various forms from that ferocious Arab-Islamic Rule.
If the US-UK mercantilism do not retreat from the region, and do not allow natural forces in the region, i.e. Russia, Iran, India and Egypt, eventually China, to take care of the situation, and to totally annihilate Islamic forces in the region, the Arab-Islamic system will expand and soon reach the shores of America, as they've already done with Europe.
