Oil in the ME. OK, but who uses that oil? We don't. We get almost no ME oil; it goes to China and Europe. I don't see how oil in the ME is our reason to be there. let the countries who need that oil take care of the situation there. Lets take our $3T in aid to Egypt, and whatever else we spend over there, and come home.

Like Aklim said, oil is oil. It's fungible and the "civilized" world needs it, like crack. Maybe if we had been scared shiiitless in 1979 and had had the wit to do something innovative about it we wouldn't be here now and hundreds of thousands of folks in the ME wouldn't be dead now .
