The Middle East...Is it time to Let it Burn ?

If the Iraqis will not defend their own Nation...Why should We ?

I would agree that perpetual war in the middle east is a detriment to our national security, and it only exacerbates the extremist problem.

I see, so no freedom of speech for people in the middle east, thought that might be a god given right, like defending your sovereign nation from foreign invaders.

I say leave it and quarantine it.
Until they sort there crap out and become civilized ban all immigration out of the trouble areas, close down all embassy, stop all but vital trade.
If they want to live in the dark age let them, but keep them quarantined.

Yes let it burn starting with Mecca and Medina the true places of origin for terrorists.
So would you include Israel in there as well? After all they are the ones that practically started modern day terrorism.

Should we just let it all Burn ?
I know that ISIS will not stop. I know they eventually will head for Israel.
That is what I think we should prepare for.
I realize that some think we should not even defend Israel.

Splitting Iraq into three pieces is the worst thing that could happen and it's exactly what Israeli politicians want to happen(so you know how bad that idea is if Israel wants it). I say let Iran and Syria help and everybody else stay out of it. Too many countries keeping Iraqis divided.
