Rules:
1. No Trump bashing, this debate ain't about him. Or praising either. Start your own debate if you wanna discuss the recent killing of Soleimani.
2. Keep it germaine please.
What are the vital US interests that should clearly indicate why we still have troops over there? We don't really need ME oil anymore, we're self-sufficient in that regard. The Sunnis and the Shites have been fighting each other for what, 1300 years or so, why do we need to stick our noses into the middle of that? Iraq's Parliament recently passed a resolution to kick us out; fine by me, let's GTFO and let the locals do whatever they want. Doesn't look to me like our military presence is making much difference, the region was unstable before we got there and it still is. As far as I can tell, Afghanistan is going to be the same place it is now on the day after we leave. Why are we still there? We don't need nothin' from those guys.
Obviously, you make everyone understand that you don't fuck with the USA. Attack one of our embassies and we'll fire a missile up your ass. Kill Americans and you WILL pay. Harbor terrorists that do us harm and you WILL pay. Militarily and economically. We don't need to be sending troops over there when a few well-placed missiles will make a statement. Or more than few. So, I think we oughta pack up and leave Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and wherever else we are in the ME. Have at it fellas, good luck. Somebody tell me why doing so is a bad idea.
