You are basically saying we should leave well enough alone, otherwise it will hurt us. Hornets shouldn't be messed with.
The problem is hornets reproduce, these 3rd world regions reproduce and as their populations have grown throughout the past two centuries, their ignorance spreads.
Our western medicines have prolonged the lives of many who would have died long ago to keep the balance. Now, as if to make up for western medicine, these folks kill each other off for no reason at all other than these allegiance to their shallow idolatries.
Iraq was no isolated Hornet's nest. We have those in Africa and we leave them alone, not that that is doing these people any good or setting a role model. Iraq was a problem in a region of global economic importance. Yes, oil. As such it's anti-western position and grand designs on other nations in the region required being addressed.
The Saudis, ASKED us to protect them. We did. The Saudis enemies (bin Laden & his Al Qaeda) used the locals ignorance to recruit martyrs. These martyrs were taught to hate the US, but the leaderships ultimate goal has always been power of their own. The Middle East is all about tinpot dictatorships, betrayal and revolutions.
Again, the bottom line is personal responsibility.
Leaving the rest of the world alone isn't the solution. Especially when the violent and ignorant reproduce at a FAR faster rate than the non-violent and intelligent. Some means and system of education and control must be implemented.
These same children are now seeking and acquiring nuclear weapons and the destruction of all who do not conform to their beliefs. Leaving them alone is letting the ghetto take over the whole city.
The left's "moral equivalence" game is obsolete.
