I understand you sentiment regarding Egypt. When the moslem brotherhood took over as was apparent; It was time to go (imho). I was of the opinion we should have left earlier. I realize the Egyptian People did fight back against the moslem brotherhood, technically, without our help thanks to the political powers that be we funneled countless amounts of money to the moslem brotherhood through hillaryâs State Department, panetta at Defense and zer0 with the approval of congress to keep the moslem brotherhood in power. Since moslems play both ends of the candle against the middle of the candle, I’m uncomfortable with not only our powers that be here but also the powers that be throughout the region. In Syria, I dislike asad immensely, but still prefer the devil we know instead of the devil lurking to overthrow him. Know I went from Egypt to Syria and did not mention Lebanon or Libya but I am of the opinion we should leave the region to its own, including the Saudis. Iran ... would allow Israel to do what they must and if we should need to become involved as we should have earlier and did not thanks to once more the powers that be, (imho) our powers that be have made too many mistakes and eventually (imho) the region will become more rabid. But that is only my opinion.
The decision whether to remain in a country considers many variables, security just being one of them.
