The Middle East has hardly gained any stability, and I doubt if it ever will. The Islamic nuts over there are just too persistent on having a holy war with the great devil of the west that they'll do anything to destroy us. I see this war as ultimately futile, and although I understand the reasoning behind going into it in the first place, we will never win. The Russians tried it and look at how well that worked out for them. If there was a button that would kill all of the terrorists in the world, I would be the first to press it, but sadly it does not exist. I say we just stop giving money to countries that hate us anyway and just protect our country at home.
