Do you think America is being right in ordering their forces to stay in the gulf countries?
I've noticed that America is adamant that its forces will stay in the gulf countries. I think now they should leave countries like Iran, Iraq. They've caused too much destruction in these countries.
I am not sure what your mean, @hubmuffins? The U.S. certain has no troops in Iran, and what few they have in Iraq are for training, as I understand it. I don't know how many are left in Kuwait, but I suspect it is greatly reduced once we left Iraq and what is left is there by the mutual agreement of the Americans and Kuwaitis. The same is true for Saudi Arabia, assuming with still have air bases there.
I don't consider that a "gulf" country, but, because that has great national security implications, we should be very careful about pulling out too soon.
I am not aware of any troops in Iran. I believe you to be mistaken. As far as Iraq, our job there is done. Only training forces remain there. Would you rather tyrants rule Iraq and continue to slaughter their own people?

The Iraq we know is not the Iraq the factions have ever recognized. If the Middle East consumes itself for the coming years with fighting each other over creating new states along sectarian lines, how is that a bad thing for the US?
