Comment: Our middle east policy is so circular.  We need to arm our allies so they are ready to fight our foes, and the reason our foes hate us is for arming our allies.  Get out of the middle east.  We need their oil like we need to trade spices, it's history.  People forget or don't understand the Sunnis and Shiites hate each other even more than American, a thousand years from now they'll still be fighting.
