Depends on what we're calling the 'Mess'.
I mean the entire middle east. ISIS will just be replaced with Al Queda or some tin pot Dictator or Radical Religious fringe and the whole cycle will just start over.
As an article I posted yesterday said:

Stepping back from that conflict, of course, would also mean cutting off the billions in aid Washington sends Israel and Egypt.
But what of it?
Rightist Israeli politicians, after all, have talked for years about weaning off the American teat, and what reasonable justification is there for sending money and weapons to the murderous new regime in Cairo?
Rand Paul, in fact, has proposed cutting off all American foreign aid, period.
As for the rest of the Middle East, Walt concludes, “most of the disputes and divisions that are currently roiling the region do not pose direct and mortal threats to vital U.S. interests.”
Rather than building flimsy excuses for democracies in places that manifestly don’t want them, America could concentrate on rebuilding itself, something everyone here seems to want.
