My bet is the U.S. will forever have a military presence in the Middle East.The place has been and will continue to be a powder keg for regional disaster that would have far reaching affects on world trade,economy and possibly another 9-11 that would dwarf that day in 2001. If you look back in history the Middle East today has the same potential to disrupt the free world as the Nazi's and ***an did 65+ years ago.
We're gonna be there Forever or pay the consequences down the road.
