It's time to take the hint and leave

I don’t know that much about the Middle East and have never been there. Nor have I ever wanted to go there either. This includes Israel and all the other semi safe Middle East countries (if there is still such a thing).

America and the Middle East are worlds apart in culture, religion, and politics. Not to mention just the general attitude on morals and role of women in society. Not really sure who has the better position on any of the afore mentioned. Middle East? America? Nonetheless, they have the oil, we have the cars. What else is there?

The bigger question to ponder is if the hostile Arab countries really don’t like we Americans, why are we there? Better yet, why did we go there in the first place. Well, the answer is big oil companies. Big oil companies is what drove current American foreign policy in the Middle East. No other reason. I guess cheap oil is worth all the hostility and anguish. Oh, really?

Another question is, why did we go to the Middle East to get oil when we have oil right here in America. Sure it limited but we easily could have adapted to its flow. Conserving and limiting its use. You only use what you have. Right?

The principle is the same as our monetary policy. Spend only what we have. No borrowing or printing of money. No going half way around the world to take someone else’s oil. Use what we got. Learn to live within our means. Drive a few miles and walk the rest of the way. Right?

All the world conflict over oil in the Middle East and America could have been avoided only if we learned early on to plan ahead. Planning on conserving and creating alternative means of energy way back when. Had we done that back when, we now would be miles ahead on energy and our energy needs.

If it were left up to me, I would leave the Middle East right now. Just drop what we are doing and run home. Come home Charlie. It’s not worth the dirty grimy hassle. They don’t like us and we don’t like them. Please, let us just remain worlds apart. It’s would be best that way. The oil companies could just go suck a dry rock. Right? Right.
