I have no problem pulling out of Europe, Japan. We are already out of Saudi Arabia. If we pull out of Mid East you can kiss our economy goodbye. Although the Democrats say " War for oil " they are only partially right. It is a war for access to oil. We are more than willing to pay the going rate for oil. What we can't have is someone, al qaeda, Russia, China, Iran dictating oil policy for the west.
Alternate energy sources need to be created and reserves found, ANWAR, and developed. Cut dependence on Arab oil and those pesky terrorists will wither on the vine. Combine that with food embargo and we have a winning combination.

That is an excellent suggestion and intelligent response. Thanks for correcting me on Saudi ARabia military lack-of-presence and for this post!
