If terrorism from the Middle East is going to stop, we have to put an end to invading their lands because its our invasions that are the very bedrock of everything we are seeing unfold today in the West.

Claiming we're holding Washington's hand is a little disingenuous, we are allies... and we're not alone. Do you know how many countries are involved in the Syrian conflict? We are not alone with the USA, many other countries are involved including Islamic countries like Jordan and Saudi.

Saying we should remove ourselves from any conflict in the Middle East is like claiming the terrorists have a point. Also, we import only a fraction of our oil from the Middle East so claiming we "dirty our hands" because of it is simply not correct.
