The US has long been entangled in Middle East affairs, often as a peacemaker. However, it's intriguing to note that deploying troops, even in small numbers, wouldn't necessarily solve the issue at hand, because it's not solely a military conflict but a deeply rooted political, cultural, and religious dispute. A vivid example is the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, which instead of stabilizing the region, led to the rise of ISIS and further instability.

Furthermore, the presence of foreign troops can often exacerbate tensions rather than reducing them. Drawing from the US history, the deployment of troops in Vietnam didn't lead to peace, but rather prolonged the conflict.

The US has absolutely not been a peacemaker in the Middle East; quite the opposite.
