From: "Rich Gauszka" 

Since both sides have tried to kill us I fail to see the difference.  I'll
give you that many times we choose sides for a perceived benefit but my
view is that there are no 'good guys' in that region so what are any
perceived benefits from a totally destabilized Middle East that will be a
gourmet feast for the extreme radical elements?
