The Arabs are, eventually, going to be ruled.

By Turks, by Russians, by Persians. Perhaps by some combination of the three.

Who they are not going to be ruled by is Americans.

Please share my post that I said I want America to rule anyone? However, if we want to continue to have allies in the region and influence in the region we will keep a presence there. Remember, power abhors a vacuum. If we left, guaranteed someone else would step in and you would not like the consequences.
