Isn't that what we're going to do? Or should we be terminally involved in "nation-building" and peacekeeping there?

Fine with me if we leave.

Just be prepared to go back there every so often to put out a fire.

I had to go to the Persian Gulf and Arabian mainland 3 times when Saddam acted up.

Goody! Maybe we can find another country to preemptively invade to save them from--themselves!!

Why should we give a fuck at all? Oh, yeah. So U.S. companies can still maintain the very profitable architecture of the internal combustion engine and we can pay for it by fielding a massively expensive military industrial complex rather than just using that money to R&D a more sustainable alternative. Silly me!

Because, I'm pretty sure after all if they didn't have lots of oil over there, no one would give a fuck about their "fires"...
