^ Oh please like they care wheether they attack us on US soil, its about gaining support, and us being there has gained more support for them than any 9/11 could, no once we leave their support dries up.

Fatalities are downbut so what people are still dying and still being wounded in addition we are losing billions over there, and our reason for remaining, it doesn't matter if we lose 1 or 1 million, if we are wasting our time, our money and letting people get injured and killed then its a waste, better to leave and focus on our own problems

So what if there is three or three hundred factions, if they want to fight then let them, we can't be responsible for the world, we need to focus on ourselves first, the region will take care of itself.

No you are of the idea that if we leave the middle east will fall to Alqaeda and then they will attack us with pakistani nukes, that's ridiculous

There is a HUGE Difference between being attacked on US soil than on theres. They want to attack us if we are there or not.  If we leave then the Attacks will come to us.  If they dint care about attacking us on our land then 9/11 owuld of never of happend.  Same with London and Spain. 

Once we leave the declare victory and we look weak.  More support for them

  Last time we let the World solve its prolem there were 2 WW.  We are the Only world Super Power and if you like it or not we are invloved in the World.  It is the Role of the Super Power to do so.  It will never change.  When America is no longer the world Super Power another Nation will step up.  It will always be like that.  So better try to be involved and have a positive change on the world because we will be involved no matter what.  Economicaly, militarily, and socialy.

The next time a WMD goes of it will be from a terrorist organization with nothing to lose.


 Not many, it took 10 years for an attack to land on US soil, and we could have stopped it had we been a little more vigilant, there is no need to worry about running out and trying to safeguard the world, we are causing them to gain more support by doing so, just focus on ourselve and reamin vigilant in case something pops up.

 

And then they fritter it away, before 9/11 they were a dying force, and then after 9/11 came our heavy handed response which gave them a fresh infusion of support, the moderate arab don't like them let them deal with the terrorists which will happen when the terrorists start hurting civilians in their own countries.  You are just trumpeting the drums of fear when you think that they will suddenly grow so powerful if we leave, quite the contrary they will be sealing their own defeat

 

No there is a difference between Isolationism and minding ourselves, most nations don't try to be the world's police, but they remain commited to things like globalization, our actions in the 1920's and 1930's was to cut off globalization and stop trading, this helped set up the economic ills that made a breeding ground for guys like Hitler, we need to remain commited to globalization, and let the world change on its own
