Our involvement won't immediately bring a long-lasting peace, or even stability to the region. It's frustrating, but we have to accept that.

Foreign (hopefully not just American) intervention has the potential to bring the conflict to an end more quickly, but it's questionable whether this would be a good thing in the long run. It's similar to the argument against flooding Africa with foreign food to stave off hunger; you bring temporary relief, but ultimately prolong the state that you're trying to eliminate.
In this day and age of easily accessible markets, who cares?

Seriously, who does? There is money to be made from killing people, "innocent" or not. *sarcastic*

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.
