Pancakes.??.

 
"The competition between the Saudis and the Iranians feeds proxy wars and chaos in Syria, Iraq and Yemen. This requires us to say that they need to find an effective way to share the neighborhood and institute some sort of cold peace," Obama told The Atlantic.

He also put a share of the blame for the crisis in Libya on Washington's European allies. Libya is embroiled in political chaos after its 2011 uprising and facing a security vacuum.

"You have countries that are failing to provide prosperity and opportunity for their people. You've got a violent, extremist ideology, or ideologies, that are turbocharged through social media," he said. " Countries that have very few civic traditions, so that as autocratic regimes start fraying, the only organizing principles are sectarian."

On Syria, now in its fifth year of civil war, Obama defended his decision not to launch strikes there in 2013, despite concerns over President Bashar al-Assad's use of weapons. 

It is time for Saudi and Iran to find a way for peace. Or use the diminished oil revenues to beat the hill out of each other. The outcome is Pancakes.         Just a thought.
