My own opinion is that, we (the American people) just need to disappear from the region as much as possible. These folks have a big barb in their eye (it has made in America on it) and if we can remove that barb, they will go back to hating each other and the guy across the river and forget about us.
We need to protect our strategic interests in the region, but we can do that differently and in a way that puts us more to the shadows and not right on front stage.
These people are just like a pitbull, they will rage against anything that walks in the front yard.

The suggestion that securing a pipeline across Afghanistan figured into the White House’s calculations is as ludicrous as the assertion that oil played a part in determining war in Iraq.
That Afghanistan is once again the world’s principal heroin producer is an unfortunate reality, but to claim the CIA is still actively involved in the narcotics trade is to presume bad faith on the part of the agency.
Mahmood Ahmed, chief of Pakistan’s ISI, must not have authorized an al Qaeda payment of $100,000 to Mohammed Atta days before the attacks, and was not meeting with senior Washington officials over the week of 9/11, because I didn’t read anything about him in the official report.
That Porter Goss met with Ahmed the morning of September 11 in his capacity as Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has no bearing whatsoever upon his recent selection by the White House to head the Central Intelligence Agency.
That Goss's congressional seat encompasses the 9/11 hijackers' Florida base of operation, including their flight schools, is precisely the kind of meaningless factoid a conspiracy theorist would bring up.
It's true that George HW Bush and Dick Cheney spent the evening of September 10 alone in the Oval Office, but what's wrong with old colleagues catching up? And it's true that George HW Bush and Shafig bin Laden, Osama's brother, spent the morning of September 11 together at a board meeting of the Carlyle Group, but the bin Ladens are a big family.
That FEMA arrived in New York on Sept 10 to prepare for a scheduled biowarfare drill, and had a triage centre ready to go that was larger and better equipped than the one that was lost in the collapse of WTC 7, was a lucky twist of fate.
Newsweek’s report that senior Pentagon officials cancelled flights on Sept 10 for the following day on account of security concerns is only newsworthy because of what happened the following morning.
That George Bush's telephone logs for September 11 do not exist should surprise no one, given the confusion of the day.
That Mohamed Atta attended the International Officer's School at Maxwell Air Force Base, that Abdulaziz Alomari attended Brooks Air Force Base Aerospace Medical School, that Saeed Alghamdi attended the Defense Language Institute in Monterey merely shows it is a small world, after all.

There is no terror problem inside the walls of private communities. Kenneybunkport has no terrorism. Hyannisport has no terrorism.
Mideastern men have joined the leisure class. Your oil money has given them a life that is conducive to radical ideals.
If you want to stop terrorism find a way to make the Mideast hungry. Hungry people are all busy working. Remember those guys on the street corner by Home Depot? Hungry with hungry kids back home.
Having no time to puff a hookah and plot terror is the answer.

Well as in smallpox, first you burn the terrorists and than you figure out how to prevent it from reoccurring.
