As lowing said. The fact they are now naming Obama as an enemy shows their fight is not with a a particular administration and their policies. But then again the US isn't going to close its hundreds or military bases around the world. Suspend clandestine operations or with draw from the middle east under any president.
Do you think the US should?

Suppose the US abandons the ME and goes home, do ya think the world will be a safer place then?
Yes I do. After you finish the mission in Afghanistan where the threat was. Pull out. How you finish that mission, I have no idea tbh.

Iraqi has only succeeded in creating a nation of terrorist from a nation of oppressed dictated citizens.
Iraqi seams to be stabilizing abit now, so the US must be doing something right atm. They can't just pull out en-mass. Its got to be fazed with the induction of better trained Iraqi force.
I agreed with the Afghan Mission. Am against the Iraqi mission. The USA shook the hornets nest in Iraqi and caused total break down of a functioning sociatity, be it a dictatorship or not (world is full of them). The US is responsible for the future of the Iraqi ppl.

To answer your question.
Pull out of Afghanistan=proliferation of the Taliban and re-establishment of a Terrorist harbouring nation, which is a threat to world peace.
Quick Pull out of Iraqi=Civil war. Thousands of deaths. Re-establishment of a dictator. Majority of Iraqi's will return to their lives now their country is no longer occupied. The country is destroyed. It can not pose any threat to the west apart from harbouring terrorists.

Typical of Westerners, we think of ourselves.
Colonial imperialism, WW1, WW2 & Holocaust, British mandate in Palestine, Regime change, Oil & gas pipelines, Cold war with Russia.
All these factors have helped insure the ME could be nothing but chaotic. All the above is intervention in the ME by the west. Our country men helped create this mess, yet all we ever talk and think about is "is the west safe?" I d like to hear more ppl stand up admit that the Arab ppl are not prim-evil savages but victims of circumstance and mans lust for power.
Our country showed the ME the natural resource it had under its feet, we invented drilling it and then refining it for THEM to sell it. All things considered every citizen of the ME should be living like kings. The US has not stolen oil. We buy it. THe west is not responsible for the chaos in the ME, the leaders of the ME are responsible for not taking care of its citizens, they blame the oppression of their people on the US, hence the hatred. In fact the leaders of those countries are to blame. They have made life so terrible, that the people view death as better than life. They then have convinced its citizens it is the US's fault.

That whole paragraph has my answer already. Stop cherry picking and either agree with the paragraph or argue against it.

You're not looking (or thinking?) hard enough.  The west buys crude oil, refines it (oil refiners tend to be foreign BP, EXXON. Shell, Total etc all outside ME) and make products like...........oh i dont know:

ammonia, anti-histamines, antiseptics, artificial turf, asphalt, aspirin, balloons, bandages, boats, bottles, bras, bubble gum, butane, cameras, candles, car batteries, car bodies, carpet, cassette tapes, caulking, CDs, chewing gum, cold, combs/brushes, computers, contacts, cortisone, crayons, cream, denture adhesives, deodorant, detergents, dice, dishwashing liquid, dresses, dryers, electric blankets, electrician’s tape, fertilisers, fishing lures, fishing rods, floor wax, footballs, glues, glycerin, golf balls, guitar strings, hair, hair colouring, hair curlers, hearing aids, heart valves, heating oil, house paint, ice chests, ink, insect repellent, insulation, jet fuel, life jackets, linoleum, lip balm, lipstick, loudspeakers, medicines, mops, motor oil, motorcycle helmets, movie film, nail polish, oil filters, paddles, paint brushes, paints, parachutes, paraffin, pens, perfumes, petroleum jelly, plastic chairs, plastic cups, plastic forks, plastic wrap, plastics, plywood adhesives, refrigerators, roller-skate wheels, roofing paper, rubber bands, rubber boots, rubber cement, rubbish bags, running shoes, saccharine, seals, shirts (non-cotton), shoe polish, shoes, shower curtains, solvents, spectacles, stereos, sweaters, table tennis balls, tape recorders, telephones, tennis rackets, thermos, tights, toilet seats, toners, toothpaste, transparencies, transparent tape, TV cabinets, typewriter/computer ribbons, tyres, umbrellas, upholstery, vaporisers, vitamin capsules, volleyballs, water pipes, water skis, wax, wax paper

(the above is only the plastic section of oil derived products)

So the west then sells teh above back to the dorks in the ME for 10X price of crude oil.  IMO the west has had to stick its cock into the ME to ensure it secures FUTURE oil supplies, because looking at that list there are a lot of essential products there.  So if they have to invade a country or two then so be it.

...oh, that is what you meant by "trusted."  I am guessing you will want to add the words 'imparital' and 'honest' to your requirement list?

never mind.
Done.
Ok.  Since you both actually did PM me (even though I was joking), here is the results.  There were 3 throws.


1.  A.R.- Rock       san4-paper  Winner, san4
2.  A.R.- Rock       san4-scissors  Winner, A.R.
3.  A.R.- Rock       san4-rock    Tie

So, officially, it is a tie.

oh, and here in the US it is called "Rock-Paper-Scissors"
I hope this result inspires compromise in conflict zones around the world.
