Im not trying to sound more educated than you when i said you should do more research. I misunderstood when you followed up your comment about the protests with how ur worried about the troops in afganistan and how if we dont pull out there will be "no way out". That why i explained later the fact i dont think this situation will explode to the point that there is no way to pull out the troops. which is why i thought that was funny. All of the attacks where men who posed as police but were infact taliban.

My point is that The U.S shouldnt distance itself from the middle east. as you know countries like Lybia and Egypt will need help from the U.S to establish their goverments and economies fully. But i truly believe and you may disagree, that we should countinue to train the local military for a few more years to give them a chance to fight for themselves. yes most troops should be withdrawn but its good to keep some to help.
