US needs to stay out of the middle east period. Especially since it can barely handle itself

Funny how the "it' in your sentence can correctly refer to either the Middle East or America

"Staying out of it" was one of his campaign promises that appealed to Americans and Non-americans alike. The following dramatic read represents the death of the last ray of hope in Trump's presidency.

What’s Changed On Syria, President Trump?

What’s changed, President Trump?  During the campaign, you promised not to embroil the United States in the Middle East’s petty wars.  You correctly stated that we have no clue who the Syrian rebels are.  You wisely argued that as bad as dictators like Bashar al Assad may be, they at least keep terrorists at bay.

What’s changed?

President Trump, you were the one who bucked the entire establishment.  While everyone else’s brains turned to mush upon seeing a picture of a bloody Syrian boy, you wisely reminded us that America must come first; that it is not our job to fight everyone else’s wars; that with 19 trillion dollars in debt we literally cannot afford to make it our job; that an American president’s duty is to his own people, not to the world.

Mr. President, please don’t become Bush III.  All we need is more intervention in the Middle East.  You yourself said that if our politicians had done nothing during the last 15 years – that if they had just gone to the beach – we would be better off today.  What’s changed?  Why get involved in this Syrian mess?  Why oppose a man fighting radical jihadists?

Our real enemies are a rising fanatical China and radical Islam.  So match China’s belligerency with a military buildup and do everything in your power to keep radical jihadists out of this country.  Everything else is a distraction.  Embroiling America – militarily and/or financially – in yet another Middle East conflict will ultimately accomplish nothing for this country.  War is tragic.  Innocents die, sometimes in horrific ways.  But please don’t compound the problem by allying with Syrian rebels who would do a lot worse than gassing if they were in power.

You campaigned on the slogan “America First.”  Please stick to that promise, President Trump.  That’s why we voted for you.
