"Apparently there is no similarly articulate spokesman for another POV: why don't we get the hell out of the murderous Middle East? It seems by attempting to intervene we get our homeland bombed, and maybe worse. It's time we learned our lesson."

Simple, obvious and wrong. Globalization has put our success in their face; do you want to stop exporting manufactured goods, fast foods, music, movies? Do you want to shut down the Internet? Do you want to close our capital markets? Only by closing down the sources of our success and power could we 'get out of the murderous Middle East'. All these things push our ideas onto a Muslim world that that hasn't adjusted to them. A segment of that world is trying radical rejection; it won't work but will make everyone suffer in the meantime.
