During the cold war years (1945-1990) the US would not normally engage in military affairs, without taking into consideration of possible Soviet/Red Chinese intervention. Unless they were blatant acts of aggression such as the Korean & Vietnam Wars. But Middle Eastern Wars (Actually Southwest Asia), such as the Arab-Israeli Wars of 1967 (known as the 6 day war), and the Yom Kipper War of 1973...etc; the US and Soviets stayed out of them; other than supplying equipment to the combatants. The result of NO MORE COLD WAR has allowed the US to conduct Operation Desert Storm in January to February 1991; and more military operations since then: Bosnia, Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan), and Iraqi Freedom (Iraq). With no Soviet Union to stop us (no cold war), we now have the freedom to POLICE any trouble spot on the globe.
