Have we learned nothing?

Over the last 100 years that America has been arming rebels in different lands, have we learned nothing? Each and every time that the US has "advised" or provided weapons, it has come around within 10 years to slap America. Conflicts in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Libya are just a few and now we're considering Syria. Wonderful, that only means that in 10 years we will need to fight the very rebels we assisted. This has happened without fail in the Middle East because America and her allies can't seem to understand that the Governments of these areas are centuries behind the "westernized" world. It is high time the common collective of Westernized lands gave up on these desert nations until they are willing to survive on their own. The sheer amount of financial support America and other Nations provide to these lands is staggering for what we receives; and as the United States and Canada fortify their need for oil locally in the Western Hemisphere, the less we need to worry about the pipelines and fuels of the Middle East.

We need to finally remove ourselves from this lost Land until they can determine what path they wish to take. Our meddling and attempting to pick the lesser of two evils has failed nearly every single time.
