You're also implying that the American presence there is stabilizing, rather than destabilizing or at best neutral.

I suppose it depends on what your definition of "just fine" is. During the 80s, with the Iran-Iraq war, are you sure there were no consequences of the 2 states shutting down production or coming to a bad slowdown?
No, I am not. We are looking after our own interests the best way we can or know how. You either row the boat and try steer it in your favored direction or let the current or someone else steer you.
