One of the leading triggers of the jihad war in the Muslim world, is the presence of US troops in many Arab countries, and , generally speaking all over the world . It does maintain that sentiment of continuation of Colonialism and Imperialism of the West , abusing so , national resources , and oppressing locals . The US should avoid it , as much as possible , unless it is matching totally the local national public opinion . More simple , is to hold military power in high seas and that's it !! <br /><br />Second : It would permit the US , to better settle conflicts in the world , without needing to send troops . And not only the cost , but , UN troops generally speaking , are considered impartial in the eyes of local residents . That is , What makes it far greater easier to manage conflicts and calming disputes . The US , would become far greater efficient agent in resolving military and political disputes , without that inconvenience of sending troops , while holding great leverage in the Security council , with the Veto power anyway . <br /><br />See here , negligible example , how " Al - Qaeda " , and Osama bin laden , emerged from presence of the US in Saudi Arabia , here I quote from " Wikipedia " : <br /><br /><br />" The deployment angered bin Laden, as he believed the presence of foreign troops in the "land of the two mosques" (Mecca and Medina) profaned sacred soil. After speaking publicly against the Saudi government for harboring American troops, he was banished and forced to live in exile in Sudan.
