I don't think we should put one more penny into the Middle East...ever. But, somehow, I figure the Democrats will find a way to send some of our money over there. The sad thing is that after a jillion elections and probably as many polls telling them that this is a political loser; I firmly believe some liberal in Congress will speak to how we're supposed to help the nation we've given up on (and gave up on for good reason).
They never learn.
