Get Out of MENA

US legitimacy in MENA is over. Burning Korans, killing civilians, toppling governments while letting people die. It's over. Even ever-loyal Kuwait is angry about the soldier who allegedly killed Afghanis being moved there without notification. So much for shoeshine boy's reach out program.

US goodwill is finished. Whatever exceptionalism ever existed is gone.

I'm not saying that the barbarians in MENA have any moral standing. They don't. But nobody wants any relationship with the US. Iraq, Afghanistan and now, even Kuwait want us to get the hell out and take our mutts with us.

We should. The US can't afford to be the world's policeman and has no credibility anyway. Bring it all back.
