~ Return of US forces to Iraq to control ISIL. American Intervention in Iraq as part of Operation Inherent Resolve, the Iraq Civil War, the Spillover of the Syrian Civil War, and the international ISIS campaign in Iraq. It was the US, Iraq, Kurdistan, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Jordan, Morocco, Netherlands, Turkey againsts the Islamic States of Iraq and Syria, resulting in ''victory.'' The details, as in most killing, are fairly unpleasant, beginning with over 10,000 American airstrikes conducted in Iraq. I wonder how many bombs that was. This is 2023 and Syria and Iraq are far from recovery.

Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Russia, Lebanon, Bahrain, Turkey, Hezbollah, china and Iran had some involvement. Chemical weapons were used. A very nasty disorganization of Syria. We seemed to have been practicing for WWIII.

2015 AD and onward: Yemeni Civil War in Yemen. This does not mean the war is civil. In it the Hadi government fought a Saudi-led Coalition supported by the US, France, and the UK against the Supreme Political Council of Yemen including Houthis and Ahrar al-Najran Supported by Iran, Hezbollah, and North Korea and other more local forces. This resulted much killing and death including a Cholera outbreak in 2016. Seems much of this was already beginning before 2002. This put Iran and the US in a face to face confrontation which both tried to moderate.

I remember that much US blood and wealth was thought by some to have been lost in an immoral effort to interfere in the civil war of a sovereign nation. Wasn't the first such intervention nor has it been the last.

My mother did not disagree. The next morning I left for the desert.
