The proposition is that the American military should operate in the Middle East and Afghanistan much like the 19th century British. We should use our troops, stationed in allied Persian Gulf nations, to overthrow dangerous regimes, such as Damascus and Teheran and install our own governor. We should then use our Air Force's targeted bombing specifically to maintain some semblance of order.
