I did not say, by pulling out of the Near East we’d be OK. We can supply our own petroleum needs without the $Billions spent to prop-up tyrant Kings.
We do not share any of their values.

Well, you said let them kill each other. I guess we should have done that with the Shah...oh, wait, never mind.
What about those students in Iran that needed support to overthrow the regime...do we let them “fight for themselves”?
The Kurds...do we not help them defeat Isis?
Israel....do we turn our backs on them too?
We don’t need boots on the ground per se, but we must not abandon the Middle East.
