Taking the necessary precautions against piracy along trade routes is not “involvement” in the sense of what we mean today by involvement in the Middle East, which is to say kicking a wasps nest over and over while deliberately leaving all of the windows to your house open for the swarm to do maximum retaliatory damage to your fellow “countrymen”. Although that does put into focus the fact that islamistan had been “involving” itself with Europe and the west for good while before neocons started all of their mischief. And article 11 is quite odd, is that 18th century cuckery or just diplomatic white lies to make these fellas think they had the upper hand in the negotiation?
