Choosing who to vote for... (LONG)

Let me see if I understand this argument. The UN sets up a country for Israel and a country for the Arabs over 50 years ago. The Palestinians do not like the idea of Israel being a country so they immediately try to destroy it. The are unsuccessful time after time, starting wars and losing the war and teritory to Israel. Russia begins to support the Palestinians and the US supports the Israelis. The Palestinians and alimited coalition of other Arab countries and the Russians lose again.

Having demonstrated a renowned lack of prowess at organized warfare the Palestinian/Arabs place more and more reliance on terrrorism, a tactic that had been used early on by the Israelis. Terrorism does not acheive much against the Israelis so a subgroup of the Arabs (NOT all of the Arabs) make this a religious war and focus on the US as the great patron of Christianity, or the great Satan or whatever.

Well then, Albert, if that is the kind of realpolitik you support then I would offer that Iraq and Afaganistan are exactly the appropriate retribution from the US to those countries who chose to defy the US. They should be thankful we did not react in the way Al Queda or Sadam Hussein would have reacted toward Israel if they had the power.

The US is the leading power in the world. The current economic crisis reinforces that. If we stumble, the world shakes. Europe should get used to the fact they could handle niether the Germans nor the Russians on their own. The Soviet Union was defeated by the US, not the common market. They want Obama because he would level the playing field by strapping the US with "wealth redistribution."
