Do you agree or disagree with this statement (details inside) regarding the Middle East?

Asked by rojo (24179points) February 27th, 2015

And why do have that opinion?

“The leaders and the people of the Middle East must solve the problems of the Middle East. The process will be long and very bloody, and their solutions may not reflect western values. But there is no evidence that the United States can do anything but make things worse by intervening militarily. At home, a new war will escalate the federal deficit once again. Because the economy is now improving, it may well create pressure for a draft, since it will be very difficult to refill the ranks of infantry and armor units with new enlistees. It will divert attention from increasingly serious problems in Europe. And worst of all, if recent history is any guide, and I believe it is, it will create more chaos.”

This is from a recent article from David Kaiser Here about a push for more US involvement to contain ISIS.
