But it's THEIR mess. And it's ISRAEL'S mess.

It doesn't pose an existential threat to us and never could.

The best they can do is take a bite out of us and our interests now and then. We'd be wiser to spend more shoring up our borders and other defenses and spending the Iraqi money trying to cure cancer or some other thing that kills more Americans each year than the 3000 or so lost on 9/11.

Unless the majority of Arabs (I am speaking here of Arabs, not muslims in Pakistan, India or Malaysia, whom your poll seems to cover) have an alternative political system to propose beside corrupt autocracy or totalitarian Islamism, the ME is going to be a mess for some time to come.
Nadine, when Israel is dissolved, not by being pushed to the sea, but by mass migration out, you will change your tune. It is a matter of time.
