“With his decision to use force against the violent extremists of the Islamic State, President Obama ... is stepping once again - and with understandably great reluctance - into the chaos of an entire civilization that has broken down. Arab civilization, such as we knew it, is all but gone. The Arab world today is more violent, unstable, fragmented and driven by extremism - the extremism of the rulers and those in opposition-than at any time since the collapse of the Ottoman Empire a century ago.” WorldStatesUseTodayForcePresidentDecisionGoneCenturyBrokenCivilizationChaosDrivenViolentIslamicOppositionEmpiresPresident ObamaCollapseRulersExtremismWorld TodayExtremistUnstableFragmentedReluctanceArab WorldBroken DownIslamic StateOttomansOttoman Empire Author:Hisham Melhem
