Yes, get out. It isn't our problem - except that it is.

We caused much of this. We have interfered, via the CIA, for decades - since the 50's, anyway, in the governments of those countries. We have fomented revolution, armed revolutions in order to put our favorite madmen on the throne - The Bloody Shah, for one. We have outright lied in order to invade and destroy other countries.

All this has created much death, disease and hatred in the world.

We do need to get out of those countries. The only thing we need to do is try to facilitate some peace and help the people rebuild what we have destroyed.

Yes, these people have been fighting each other for centuries. That's a good enough reason to stay out - but our own country has not had such a calm past either. We are a much younger nation, but we have fought England- twice, the Indians/indigenous people of this country, Mexico, Spain, and each other. That's just on our own soil. Did I leave any out?

We then got involved in the politics of South America - now we decided to destroy people in the ME, and Africa.

I left out the 'cold war' that brought about the Korean Conflict, Vietnam, etc.

I fear we will reap the whirlwind.
