in the middle east is crucial to peace around the world and here in the U.S., and preventing the proliferation of terrorism.
So is promoting democracy. Unfortunately, the middle east isn't interested in Democracies.

If we pull out now, those Kurds fighting ISIS may be attacked by Assad, Russia & Turkey. They were the most effective force against ISIS. Want to see ISIS get a stranglehold again in Syria? Take away the syrian kurds. Then the U.S. is back to Syria again with higher amounts of troops.

Or Syria/Russia just bombs the hell out of the place, drops chemical weapons on civilians, and commits genocide.
