Why would we care what happened in the Middle East if the Israelis all moved to Jersey? We would buy oil from whatever despot rules the oil rich lands, and let the local population battle amongst themselves over how to live together Yeah, that was the State Dept's general idea before 9/11. Since then, even State has figured out that the troubles of the Middle East are exportable. Would you have recommended in 1990 that the US not interfere when Saddam took Kuwait? His tanks were rolling up to the Saudi border. He could have taken SA in two days, and probably would have. Would you have recommended to let him do it?
