Ted, Maybe they don't want to give you their oil and cooperation.

Exactly. But they sure like to take our money and pay for weapons and terror. As long as they get to spend their own money and build up their own power base, they don't care what they have to sell. Oil, heroin, whatever.

If we get out of the Middle East, they'll still find customers for their oil and build up whatever regimes of terror and oppression they wish for. If we start sticking up for the little guy, they'll still consider it Western meddling of Middle Eastern affairs. No matter what, they're always going to view the West as evil, and no amount of "understanding their pain" is going to change that.
