US and the Middle East

OK - here's what I think we should do. The US should contact China and Japan and other major users of oil from the middle east and tell them that the U.S. is getting out of the middle east, no more funds or military support will go to any country in the middle east, including Israel. Make it clear that at the end of next year, we will no longer be involved in the middle east. Why, you might ask. There is more at stake for those countries that are truly dependent on middle east oil to provide stability in that region. The downside for the U.S. is that we may have to pay more for oil and gasoline. The upside is that the hatred for U.S. support of Israel by some Arab nations would surely decrease. Israel could wreak havoc on the middle east with the use of its tactical and strategic weapons, unless China or some other power steps in to moderate.
