Do we have to "abandon" Israel to make changes? Can't we change how we do things, or is it all or nothing?
Our gluttonous oil consumption may have made us the world superpower, but it will also lead to our downfall. The desire to hold to the status quo "at any costs" is what will destroy this country.
I think the real "war on terror" is actually an internal one. The "terror" is the American way of life going down the drain, and the entrenched powerbases (both sides) trying to hold on for dear life. The terror is the realization that we are on the downside of our "empire", and the fact that if we don't change we will sink into a bankrupt pool of irrelevant ooze.
