The scope and amount of jockeying by nation states and non-state actors with regard to the Middle East hasn't been seen since the aftermath of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand... and we all know how well that turned out.
From the U.S. arming Libyan rebels who were last seen shooting at U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan to Russia doing backroom deals with the Saudis and Israel to a certain billionaire madman financing unrest to the Iranians releasing a film about the imminent arrival of the 12th Imam (the Mahdi), it hasn't been this exciting or interesting since the 1930s.
