Look at the long-term consequences of US intervention. Where has it ever done good in the Middle East?
Iraq is better off now than under Sadam.
Depending on your definition of "the Middle East," Afghanistan is better off as well. Reading, music, voting, girls going to school were all banned by the Taliban. Now you have millions of kids in school,voting, women in politics, etc.
Note - I am saying better off, I'm not saying things are perfectly fine or even ok but they are definitely better off.
