Get the troops out of the Middle East!

[Go_Oilers_Go]

I just very recently watched The Kingdom and I felt that it raised some very interesting points. The States have been involved in the Middle East for a very long time. While the States may feel that because it is the most powerful country in the world it has the right to get involved in the affairs of other nations, these other nations may have extremists who do not want the infidels infiltrating their lands. I do admit that the States have done some good things in the Middle East, but terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda will never rest as long as the States remain involved in the Middle East. I strongly feel that the terrorists do have the resources to eventually launch another terrorist attack on American soil if the troops (as well as all other Americans) do not get out ASAP. As much as it pains me to say this, we must leave the Middle East to its own devices. The States cannot shape the world the way they want it to be, as has been proven in both Vietnam and Korea. Therefore, we must let the Middle East settle its own affairs (although it will likely involve much bloodshed). Something will eventually arise from the chaos in the Middle East and take control, but the States are preventing that from happening. And the States/other nations should get out because the events in the Middle East do not threaten them directly. However, our presence in the Middle East directs a threat at us as demonstrated by the events of 9/11 which in the view of Al-Qaeda technically was not an unprovoked attack.
