[The Toll]

I don’t understand what you mean? Yes Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Turkey, Egypt, Dubai, and Kuwait, have all sent Jihadis to fight for Al Queda in Syria and now our government is trying to arm them.

I mean that we should have learned by now that we cannot "fix" the Mideast. Every time we have tried, we have been bitten. The last seemingly good move was to get Iraq out of Kuwait, but even that came back to bite us. We don't "need" their oil anymore so whatever our strategic interests are over there, we should not allow ourselves to be dragged into yet another endless war where NO side is any better than the other and especially not where the ones that want our support would gladly turn our own weapons against us the first chance they had. The ONLY exception, I believe, is Israel. If they are threatened, then we have an obligation to come to their aid - they are the only dependable ally we have over there and look who they are surrounded by.
