After some serious thinking about the sand of the desert, camel caravans and the antics of Rommel and other desert characters since I was 18, I have come to the conclusion after 50 years that we have really been played for fools by the Middle Eastern leaders. Who will we support? Who won't we support? Who do we want running this country or that country? Which tribal leaders should we give bundles of money to, and which ones should we covertly knock-off through sniper activities? Yes, after 50 years of reading about the blood spilled in the Middle East, especially much American blood, I ask myself why in the hell we didn't leave there in 1949 when Israel became a nation and left a defense force there to make sure this nation was not tormented, treated like a piece of crap after suffering such inhumanity during WWII. We should have left the killing and politics up to the other nations in the area. It would not be much different than it is today. Why do we do this? If it is all about oil, we could have gone in, got the oil wells we need to function for the money we have given the middle east and gotten the hell out. Think of how many lives would have been saved. They would love us even more if they didn't have to see us trying to keep the peace. Let them keep the peace or do whatever the hell they want, we have our own nation to worry about. 9-11 should have made it apparent that they are not too fond of the USA.
