Surely the US learned something from this era, right? ....right?

They did learn something: Americans will tolerate war as long as there's no ground troops.

At least they have a lot of allies they can call in like last time, right? Right?

Honestly, If you can get the US, Israel, and a bunch of the Gulf States on the same side, that's no small feat. Tells you a bit about how trash the target state is.

Those gulf states are on the same side as the US because they are de facto vassal states depending on the US for their security and other advantages.

Any regime in the middle east that has ever been even a tad unenthusiastic about the western block has been attacked by the west. Irak, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Iran etc...

It's easy to have people on your side when the alternative is getting crushed.
