They're there to keep the battles out of U.S. territory. If the wars didn't happen in the Middle East, they would happen on our homeland,
and I am glad you don't even try to dispute the fact that 95% of all the murders in the Middle East have been carried out by muslims and that your accusation that the US has killed 1,000,000 there in the last 10 years is completely baseless.
It's pretty looney, the US going after ME dictators for putting down uprisings, for ruling with an iron fist... afaik ruling with an iron fist is the only thing that works in the ME... And wasn't dickwad Obama [maybe his teleprompter was broken that day] the one that was the "Peace" candidate? He started up even more stuff in the ME!
What the heck, apologize for the Twin Towers, give us the money to rebuild them and we might decide to leave you alone... or not...
