  I despair sometimes: the very presence of western forces (or even benign western bodies) in the middle east is inflammatory enough to some there to provoke attacks on Western countries. The (very complex) reasons for us to be there are some of the (many) reasons we are under threat anyway. But the withdrawal of same would be equally inflammatory to others and equally provocative. And then there are the moral and ethical questions. At heart we all simply want to be free of the threat of unjustified violence against us and people about whom we care. I guess that counts for all groups, whatever creed, race or faith we have.
