Evacuating? That implies either ownership or some other "right to be there", when in fact there is no ownership or the right to be there on the part of the US government.
Additionaloly, there is no power granted the federal government by the US constitution to be there either.

100% so that they will quit "disliking" us. I for one do not think that the radical islamists would suddenly change their attitude or actions towards western society simply by pulling out.

Nor do I think that muslims will immediately forget US government terror, terror that has been perpetrated upon them for decades. I can reliably, by self evident facts, tell you that remaining in the mideast and waging terror campaigns today and into the future will not make them "stop hating us" at all.

This simplistic attitude of leave them alone and they will leave us alone is flawed. The radical islamists want us dead whether we leave them alone or not.

They want the people that have been terrorizing their lands for over 80 years to leave them alone. Some of them saw an opportunity to bring that terrorism home to the US government's backyard and took it. It appears it is you with the simplistic idea that waging a terror campaign in the mideast will work, you have 80 years of history that say you aren't just wrong; but idiotically, dangerously, and murderously wrong.
