they have a new government-whether it succeeds or not will be up to them in the end anyway.
The problem I have with the thought process* that we can leave the middle east alone and if it fails that's its problem - we're not there - is that their problems spill over to us domestically. Therefore a stable system there is in our interests.

Well for America, the potential problems could be shut out by first stopping all immigration from muslim countries and developing our own oil resources (Alaska and the Gulf coast which have a lot of untapped potential from what I've read). As long as the Islamic religion is in place in the region to help provide religious sanction and fuel for their hate of Israel, America, and anyone else who disagrees with them-political solutions are a waste of time.The mideast has been 'failing' for a long time and the United States isn't going to make a bit of difference unless we simply wiped out the arabs and the iranians, which would do the trick but would be rather messy. I say we let them fly at each other's throats and stay out of it. Iran's nuclear program is primarily a threat to Israel and they should be the ones to handle it without us interfering in any way.

Yes, destroying the last unspoilt wilderness in North America is definitely a first class solution.

Thank you for that neat summation Henry Kissinger.

Yes, genocide has an unfortunate tendency to be "rather messy".
If you are at all representative of the next generation of Americans, then God help us all.

The US is not on trial and neither am I, my suggestions would get us out of the way of a lot of crap that will go bad anyways.

No, your suggestions would go some way to ensuring that humanity doesn't see the 22nd Century.
Meanwhile, here's a timely (
http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/0223/p09s01-coop.html) article that you'd do well to read; I live in hope that, despite all evidence to the contrary, you are actually capable of understanding a cogent analysis.

Getting America out of Iraq and not invading Iran? Developing our own resources so we don't buy arab oil and give them more money to build bombs to kill us with? Keeping out of our own country people who might have worse things than the 9/11 attacks in mind? And screw that link, it just confirms the fact that much of the media is eaten up with political correctness (and the rest being owned by Murdoch;) ). We have nothing more to discuss.

Well, I was referring more to your proposed (and, if you bother to read the link, unjustified) ban on Muslim immigration and your proposed genocide of Arabs and Persians, but hey.
I agree that we have nothing more to discuss, since discussion requires that both parties have a rudimentary understanding of the issue.

I really think you misunderstood his comment about wiping out the Persians and Arabs. I'd place a bet Dr Sneak doesn't want America to do that (he was making a comparison of options. By comparing option A to option B and making option B extreme then it makes option A reasonable). Classic StD none-the-less. ;)
