I wholeheartedly agree with one exception. If its going to go back to a dictatorship, let's involve ourselves to the point that we end up with a dictator like Mubarak who is our friend for 30+ years versus the possibility of dealing with another like Gadhafi or worse, like Ahmadinajhad. "I feel better about the devil I know than the one I don't" is an old adage that fits here.
