Fine. Let's pull out and let them kill each other by the thousands, just like the good ole days of Saddam. /sarcasm still on.

Better yet, lets go into every Muslim country with religious war, and help them settle their differences.

"Is the solution a democratic Arab world? If by democracy we mean free elections but also free press, free speech, a functioning judicial system, civil liberties, equality to women, free international travel, exposure to international media and ideas, laws against racial incitement and against defamation, and avoidance of lawless behavior regarding hospitals, places of worship and children, then yes, democracy is the solution."

"If democracy is just free elections, it is likely that the most fanatic regime will be elected, the one whose incitement and fabrications are the most inflammatory. We have seen it already in Algeria and, to a certain extent, in Turkey. It will happen again, if the ground is not prepared very carefully. On the other hand, a certain transition democracy, as in Jordan, may be a better temporary solution, paving the way for the real thing, perhaps in the same way that an immediate sudden democracy did not work in Russia and would not have worked in China.

First, thank you for your service, and secondly I think you are dead wrong.

We have decided that the Shia are on our side and the Sunni aren't. I can guarantee that the "right" side will win a civil war. We may regret agreeing to ally ourselves with any of those groups of people, but it's what we've done and the group we have chosen are in an excellent position to keep the Sunni minority under their thumb.
