The Middle East has known nothing but violence and unrest since the beginning of recorded history. Those who live their need to get their shit together before they start pointing fingers.

Yes, our presence there and our influence hasn't helped, but the problems there existed long before we ever arrived.

For starters, most of them are part of a religion that seems like it is a couple hundred years behind the rest of the developed world. You can't expect to rationalize with fanatics. It just doesn't work that way.

If the US completely pulled out of the Middle East and even abandoned our support of Israel, those Middle Eastern countries would just go back to hating and fighting each other.
