so every time there is a terrorist attack the discussions always end up placing blame on the US and our role in the Mideast. So I am curious as how people would answer the questions i have posed below. Admittedly I don't fully grasp what would happen if we pulled out but i'm curious to know what some of you think, especially about question 5. so if the US pulled completely out of the Mideast and was to stay out of any conflicts there...
1 - how many countries would a civil war and/or coup occur in?
2 - how many more atrocities would certain leaders inflict on their own people there?
3 - how may countries would be safe from the neighbors?
4 - if the region was to become more unstable how many more refugees would look to leave and where would they go?
5 - If the US pulled out wouldn't it be safe to assume one of the other of the world's military powers would move to have their strength and control there instead of US?
6 - if you believe the answer to question 5 is Yes, and you'd have to be really naive to not think the answer is yes, which country and leader would you prefer to have that power? Russia, China, Japan, North Korea, one of the current Mideast countries and it's leader, or someone else?
7 - if one of the countries above had control of the Mideast how would the region be better off on a humanitarian level? would their people be better or worse off?
8 - Knowing how important the Mideast oil is to the world economy how would one of those countries and it's leader being in charge affect the global economy? more positive, more negative, no change?
9 - if the US was not there who and what would the islamic terrorists use as the scapegoat for their attacks?
10 - how long would it take before the world asked us to come back to help strengthen the region?

Russia, China, Japan, North Korea, one of the current Mideast countries and it's leader, or someone else? no one is that dumb.
7 - if one of the countries above had control of the Mideast how would the region be better off on a humanitarian level? would their people be better or worse off? worse
8 - Knowing how important the Mideast oil is to the world economy how would one of those countries and it's leader being in charge affect the global economy? more positive, more negative, no change? no change
9 - if the US was not there who and what would the islamic terrorists use as the scapegoat for their attacks? israel
10 - how long would it take before the world asked us to come back to help strengthen the region? tuesday
seriously, how can anyone answer any of those questions? lol (except for number 9, always blame israel lol)
yes I know many of the questions can't be answered but I just get sick of hearing people constantly harp that we meddle there which causes all the world's problems. That area would be a bigger shit storm and the global economy would suffer worse consequences if we pulled out and ignored that region.
Not with the current administration and Congress.
2 - how many more atrocities would certain leaders inflict on their own people there? You mean like putting a high percentage of one culture in prison?
3 - how may countries would be safe from the neighbors? The U S of Eh seems to be able to get along with Mexico and Canada.
4 - if the region was to become more unstable how many more refugees would look to leave and where would they go? Maybe they wouldn't leave as the countries may not break down.
5 - If the US pulled out wouldn't it be safe to assume one of the other of the world's military powers would move to have their strength and control there instead of US? Didn't Russia try this after the Americans first go round in Afghanistan. How'd that work out.
6 - if you believe the answer to question 5 is Yes, and you'd have to be really naive to not think the answer is yes, which country and leader would you prefer to have that power? Russia, China, Japan, North Korea, one of the current Mideast countries and it's leader, or someone else? Takes a lot of brain washed soldiers to do the dirty work. Now your option of North Korea is a funny one. I would choose Sweden though.
7 - if one of the countries above had control of the Mideast how would the region be better off on a humanitarian level? would their people be better or worse off? Any country that is "occupied" is never better off. Instead of getting their country in order, their first priority is fighting the occupier which of course takes the pressure off the puppet who is leading said county.
8 - Knowing how important the Mideast oil is to the world economy how would one of those countries and it's leader being in charge affect the global economy? more positive, more negative, no change? It won't be important once greedy leaders can figure out how to make money off of the sun and wind.
9 - if the US was not there who and what would the islamic terrorists use as the scapegoat for their attacks? This is where your civil war comes in handy, to sort out the baggage.
10 - how long would it take before the world asked us to come back to help strengthen the region? You tell me how many countries in the region ask for your help in the first place. Then this would be a credible question.
