LOL - Clausewitz is best read in the Cliff Notes abridged version; he was the most perceptive in his foresight how generals would ignore politicians and create the chaos of WW1. Maybe the origin of the fighting the last war quote too - it has been a very long time since my first year of grad school studying strategy and the role of force. You are correct that we risk creating an imperial interest in the Middle East in the same way we created an interest and need to stay in the Balkans, by becoming the only big kid on the block who can sort out all the little shits causing trouble. The Great Game as we knew it was gone after WW2, replaced by the Cold War and now this chaotic area of transnational actors and institutions tripping over the old nation-state world. No one can really define the era we live in now - won't be possible until we vave played this game a few more decades. Donc ce n'est pas exactement la meme chose parce que les temps se changent de temps en temps. Rien ne reste completement comme avant.
