We may leave... Once the political power structure of the middle east shifts in a large way.
It's folly to expect western democracy to work in the middle east - their culture just doesn't function that way.
Unfortunately, THE largest blocks to a manageable, relatively peaceful, middle east are our "allies" in the region - Pakistan, India, and (especially) Saudi Arabia.
I am just waiting for Bin Laden to pop his head up as an advisor to Iran.
Iran has been playing their little games
very much like they're borrowing from Bin Laden's play book. With a touch of North Korean thrown in for 'flava'.
If that happens, then it's time for a rousing game of whack-a-mole, with the gloves off this time.
(Edit: no, I'm not forgetting Israel. That's a whole 'nother steaming pile of shit to deal with.)
