I see it as a minor irritant of us getting in between them. Yes, they would want us gone so that the two peoples can kill each other like they've been doing since the dawn of time. Trust me when i say that they could care less about us in reality. They just use us, or use Israel as an excuse to unite. Give them the bomb, and I'm sure one sect will want to kill the other to achieve domination in the region.
Mark my words!

To an extent, I agree with you. But for any of them to play power games in the region, they know they need us out. Not to mention anything of the religious crazy element that will dream of that mushroom cloud until we are out of their holy land. Kind of ironic that Islam is ultimately what will keep the Middle East feuding long after we are gone (which will only happen if the value of oil goes away, one way or another), when Mohammed almost certainly intended for it to unify the nomadic pagan tribes.
