Cede the Middle East?

I wasn't aware it was ours to do with as we please. Still stuck in the Monroe Doctrine Lee?

From everything the administration has said publicly numerous times, we didn't invade Iraq or Afghanistan as imperialists but simply to right some wrongs and get out.

It's pretty obvious with statements like Tom's and yours that it was always your ambition to possess and rule the areas. Well I think it's high time you took up on that, head over there and rule to your heart's content. Get the hell out of my America.

War is justified in one circumstance only and that's purely defensive as in troops are amassed at your border and ready to pour in. That's it. No preemptive crap. No shooting cruise missiles from afar because we don't like how the area is conducting themselves.

If people attack you as in 9/11 then you go after just the people that did it and bring them to justice. That's all you're entitled to.

Now go play on the freeway.
