Original Note:
The United States was immediately in a State of war with Algeria (an Ottoman vassal) from 1785 to 1795, under Washington's presidency, and again 1801 to 1805 (First Barbery War). There very much never was a time where the US could afford to ignore the Middle East. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American%E2%80%93Algerian_War_(1785%E2%80%931795) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Barbary_War
