It's the Middle East. And it might not be PC to say it, it's a fucked up part of the world with a lot of fucked up people. Our presence is not going to stop the Shia and Sunnis from hating each other. It won't stop them from killing each other. Simply put, that part of the world simply does not want peace and has proven it for centuries. I don't think it matters when we leave, they'll kill each other still. I'd rather them do that then kill us.

I have always said that since the begining of recorded history that part of the world has known nothing but blood and violence and it shows no signs of ever changing.
Oil, money and everything else aside we are dealing with religious radicals and you can't rationalize with people like that.
