Didn't Don Corleone say something about keeping your friends close and your enemies closer? Politics and diplomacy are at work here.I think we should stop foreign aid to all countries.
Do you think the USA would not be such a huge target for terrorism if we took the path I outlined in the op? The nations that don't sufffer from a terrorism problem are generally the ones that stay in their borders and don't constantly interfere with other nations. It would make this disappear:

I was talking about our bases. Iran would suffer the same embarassment as Russia in 1962 Cuba.Didn't Don Corleone say something about keeping your friends close and your enemies closer? Politics and diplomacy are at work here.I think we should stop foreign aid to all countries.

It'd be interesting to see you defend Iran placing military bases along the Canadian and Mexican borders as politics and diplomacy.

Or until we run out of money, like the Soviet Union.The US won't pull out of the middle east until the oil is drained.
hossyDon't you think the rich Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia should help the Africans? After all, it was your Arab Muslim cousins who rounded up these Blacks and sold them to the slave traders. I would imagine that FckingAmazing closes his eyes to the Muslims who are currently killing the Christians in Nigeria. What does he really care about the Africans? Probably nothing at all.just cut ties with israel....very good

the 3rd reason is AIPAC and the israel lobby in congressOr until we run out of money, like the Soviet Union.The US won't pull out of the middle east until the oil is drained.
There's a huge difference between how we're dealing with the situation vs how the USSR tried it. They went the most expensive route - first by supplying services and arms to puppet regimes, and then bringing in a huge military machine for a long term occupation. On top of that, they didn't have much of a global demand for their goods - other than weapons - and so, couldn't stockpile enough cash to make that work.
Our position so far has been to soften the opposition with short term invasions, and then train the indigenous people to stand up for themselves. As we pull out completely, we throw a few bucks their way to "buy" a stable support base for the long term. This allows us to keep our costs a little lower, and paves the way for setting up global trading partners and other diplomatic benefits.
The USSR wanted to either annex or control the countries it invaded. Our goal in all of that was to string out the USSR, break it's economy, and topple Communism. The US won't pull out of that region for a couple of reasons - one is the strategic positioning we've gained overlooking both Europe and Asia, and the second is to maintain the free flow of oil to the world which keeps the world economy from tanking.
I think we should stop foreign aid to all countries.

he's tryin to jerk off with me but I aint playing
no way
America currently imports somewhere around 17% of ME oil...Our strategic interests have been waning steadily...the only reason we are still here is because of the Empire Builders who got us into the so called World Economy...the World Economy which relies on American Military Power to protect the oil routes for Europe and the rest of America's client states....
We should help develop S. America and get out of the old world's constant war-fare.
America is slowly leaving the ME when the oil runs out in our life-time...Israel's nukes are a powerful deterrent but it can't protect her in the long-run unless she makes peace before America leaves.
When the oil runs out and the US leaves, which Arab/Muslim countries will be able to afford a war with Israel?
Pakistan, nuclear Iran, and god knows how many others...Armament Parrity is the engine that drives international relations.

Not these and no others. Pakistan has no capacity to attack Israel - they may throw curses but they lack missiles that can reach Israeli targets. After the oil runs out, Iran will not be able to afford a war with any developed country. If they did have nuclear weapons when the oil ran out, they'd be more likely to use them as a terror threat against their own increasingly impoverished and no doubt rebellious population than against Israel. Once the oil runs out and US military aid to Egypt ends, the Israeli economy will actually allow the IDF to increase its margin of superiority over potential enemies even without any US military aid.

We can all bet that your formulations will be correct in 50-60 years...can you offer any real evidence? I believe Pakistani missiles have a range of 1300 miles today...Israel is 1500 miles away...the only secure way is a peace that protects all parties with trade.

Even if they are capable, in this scenario (would that it was in reality) the USA would not be involved. Israel can take care of itself, or not.
No ones asking them to do that.This thread has gotten way off topic but I don't see Israel giving up their sovereignty. Nor should they.
You mean that Palestinian state that doesn't exist?No ones asking them to do that.This thread has gotten way off topic but I don't see Israel giving up their sovereignty. Nor should they.
What they're asking, is for them to respect the Palestinian sovereignty.
