Obviously you meant to say the US and Israel, right?

That's more than what can be said for many.
Except for the fact that he has absolutely no knowledge of what he attempts to debate on. You know that there is a problem when even Geoff puts together more coherent, educated, and logical arguments than this guy.

Almost guaranteed. With a government that has no regard for the international community, a black and white interpretation of reality, and a segement of the population that will swallow any lie or justification provided its just a matter of time.
Its going to get to the point where if the US wants something and you dont pony up quick and your not a solid classic western nation, euros, canada etc, then your going to be fucked, especially if your in the middle east. They will continue to play the terrorist card, and indirectly play on the religious intolerance, fear, and bigotry present in every country around the world. It doesnt matter if civilization is or is not short sighted, when the idiot with the biggest stick and the will to use it is.
if it looks bad in 10 years...we will take our kids and move to a safe country...my kids will not fight for this bs...maybe by then they will be fighting with "the terrorists"...
a defining attribute of a government is that it has a monopoly on the legitimate exercise of violence...

Let me ask you a serious question (for once):
If you are convinced your leaders are corrupt, if you're convinced that they cannot - and will not - protect you and your family and if you're convinced that there will be another attack on US soil within the next few months...why don't you leave now?
Or is a dishwashing man-wife wearing a cooking pot on his head not a target?

I guess you forgot everything corrupt the US has been doing in Central and South America the last 40 years?
The situation you've just predicted would happen to the Middle East is EXACTLY what is happening in Central and South America right now...and has been going on for a long time.
And just for some one-upmanship....it's not just Central and South America that the US is fucking with. Take a globe, spin it and stick it with your finger....unless it's an ocean the US is probably dicking with shit that the UN and Amnesty International would consider illegal....all in the name of its "Empire".
Yeah I didnt mention cental and south america at all, I only said they wont fuck with the established 1st world/G8 types and that the middle east is in for some good years if the US stays as it is.
I know all about all the contra anti communist action on a basic level. However I thought that was mostly cooled down now, guess not?

Ummmm...not when the White House is flinging propaganda about Venezuala's democratically elected President (not to mention Pat Robertson publically calling for his assassination).
Also don't forget the catastrophic withdrawl of support for Argentina a few years ago that turned that country upside down practically overnight. It is still recovering with massive poverty and unemployment.
