What If You Hold A Conference & Nobody Comes

It is ironic that after calling for a meeting to discuss a new era of cooperation in the Middle East, the non-arrival of almost everyone except the Americans, Poland (who hosted the event), Israel (of course) and Saudi Arabia were the only ones there.
Ironic that as America, Israel and Saudi Arabia have been doing so much to bring death and destruction to the Middle East, they were the only ones (along with Poland who hosted the event) who turned up.
Pence said the boycott of America's call for peace was 'uncooperative' as the Iranians had a chuckle that the conference was dead on arrival and the former US ambassador to Sweden called it 'amateur hour at the White House and is ultimately another blow to US prestige'.
The EU boycotted the event, originally conceived by the US as a way to press for a more aggressive stance towards Iran, Israel leader Netanyahu had earlier withdrawn a Tweet that he was in Warsaw to discuss war with Iran, and the original summit agenda was scrapped and renamed as 'Peace In The Middle East' after Europe told Washington it was 'not a very smart idea'.
That nobody in the main capitals of the World believe that America, Israel or Saudi Arabia are serious about about bringing peace to the Middle East and are more intent in attacking Iran is plain to see and have learned from previous grim mistakes that peace won't come from the same nations that are currently dropping high explosives on people.
