You must be a young man. Following a dozen years of American military adventurism in the region, regime change and other interference, the Middle East is in far worse shape than it's ever been in my life time and that's more important to me then what was going on in 653.
The 2006 NIE concluded with intelligence community consensus, that the Iraq invasion and occupation has caused an increase in terrorism, and made the US less safe. Polls now all show a strong majority of Americans acknowledge the Iraq war as a mistake, including the "decider" himself. Are you aware of the present condition of Libya and Syria. Our policies in the region have so angered Russia and China that they are doing things that may pose future problems for us, including telling us no at the UNSC on further military intervention, if you recall Hillary's angst over that. And the opportunistic (to the power vacuum) Islamic State is quit well menacing the region.
