The U.S. and Agentina or Greece are very different countries. That is not to say that the U.S. brand of fascism can't cause the country to eventually fail. It may. Or the U.S. may change its course. If it does, it will be because the economic policies that started with Reagan and that have been so disastrous are recognized as having failed, and the country is able to rebuild its middle class. At the same time, foreign policy must change as well if the country is to avoid wasting its youth and resources on endless damaging wars. In the latter regard there is a glimmer of hope, but that's all.
In any case, in a large and complex economy it takes a long time for major policy changes to have a readily discernible impact. We haven't even changed course yet, and the next direction could even be worse.
Maybe the U.S. should ask Israel for financial aid. Surely they can spare a dime or two. We deserve something for faithful lap dog service.
the US consists of 52 argentinas , greeces, portugals. they are called states.they are just as bankrupt.

it is always the jews for the lefties. skip the dribble that u are not antisemitic but that you are anti-zionistic. cry me a river for the poor Palestinians whose arab brothers don't want them.

congratulations for coming out of the closet. why don't you immigrate to a more suitable country? what is the name of the country.?
Canada, Australia, or any of the other industrialized countries of the world where medical care is affordable, and there is a larger, better educated middle class, less poverty, crime and violence, greater mobility between classes, and greater personal freedom would be suitable alternative to living in the U.S. Every country has its own set of problems and there are always trade-offs.
My personal view is that the U.S. should adopt a position of neutrality toward both Israel and the Palestinians -- be a constructive force for good while avoiding taking sides.
It is fairly common to think as you do. From my point of view it is not a matter of not being able to judge, it is more a matter of restraining oneself from judgement. It is a great challenge to become fully informed at great distance from a problem when most of what one has to work with is heavily filtered.
When I have had the uncommon opportunity to talk directly with those who have had first hand experience with the Israeli-Palestinian problem, I get conflicting views.
You no doubt noticed that I had no problem with judgement when it came to Reagan's economic philosophy and its effect on my country. But I have first hand information and experience in this instance. And it is not a moral matter, not much of one anyway, though there are moral aspects.

this a strong statement from someone who professes to be both neutral and ignorant of the history of Israel.
then again what kind of expectations can one have about someone who raises the suggestion that maybe it is time to burn the constitution?

I would think it best for U.S. citizens if their country adopted a more neutral stance toward Israel and the Palestinians. However, the U.S. has not done that. So if we are going to behave as any well trained lap dog should, is it wrong to expect an occasional bone to be thrown our way?
So what you are insuating is lie your way out of the problem. It might work if the system was run so tight. Long time ago it worked fine buy with actual data desemination at anyone fingertips thegame turn in how long it can be covered up. ... Wikileaks.... it is only a matter of time before the next one goes off. People just need to get used that we are still running a feudal system and have rebadged it so many times that no one knows what is really going on. Could the US be headed for another economic meltdown. The global GDP forcast says yes. China outproduced the combined total GDP output of the EU and US. Sinofy the planet and get it over with. The culture is failing in the US. It has turned in a Narco Prison Industrial complex that feeds on it own citizens. The Mexicans are headed south because there is no more money. Living in present day America is like being trapped in a garbage truck sinking to the bottom of Love canal in Niagra Falls New York
