Get the U.S. OUT of the middle east, who's with me?

71. Then what?

We leave, we pull out of all arab countries, and go home.

Now what do we do about Israel? Do we still support them or let them stand on their own?

Do we fightback against terrorists that attack our embassies in other countries like Spain, England, or Africa?

How about our Navy, say we are attacked again while running a mission for another country or rendering aide to Italy or someplace that puts us somewhere near an arab country?

Should we just say 'my bad' we shouldn't have gotten so close to your country or 'sorry about existing' when there is a terrorist attack on our soil?

What if there is a natural disaster or humanitarian crisis in an arab country and they ask for our help do we ignore it?

What happens when agents of a terrorist organization attack us, do we demand the arab country deal with it, do nothing, what?

Packing up and leaving solves some simple problems but not all of them and we live on the same fucking planet, we have countries right next to those you say we should avoid, we have allies who have countries right next to those countries, we have communications technology that reaches those countries. We can't just close a door and not have to ever deal with those countries again, the world doesn't work like that.

Isolationism only works so long as you are willing to hide in your room and ignore whatever those looking to start shit with you are willing to do. No surprise if you don't react there will always be someone who'll keep pushing the envelope and go farther in the hopes they'll either get a reaction out of your or get away with doing something even worse that you'll just let them get away with cause you've shown them you won't do anything about X,Y, & Z already.
