Talk about fantastical thinking! I have yet to hear a coherent explanation of what you lefty visionaries forsee happening once we capitulate and leave the Middle East to its own devices. Some kind of nirvana I expect, like you envisioned after the end of the cold war. We followed your advice, let our guard down and unsurprisingly 9/11 ensued.

Nabalzbbfr, you need to buy a vowell and a clue. It's really simple. America needs to become self reliant by developing a clean source of renewable energy, so that we aren't dependent on Middle East oil. When Bush took office, before 9/11, that was the number one priority. In fact it's been our number one priority since 1973. Reagan, Bush I, and Clinton have all dropped the ball on this one.
One thing America doesn't need is a delusional right-wing nut job trying to protect us from foreign right-wing nut jobs. It just doesn't work that way.
