And Israel is unlikely to like it for the US to "get out of the way." There are too many monied interests involved for the government to stay out of it. That said, maybe the people there won't give us a choice. Hope so for their sake.gmbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12838413091600247047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18773945.post-90431905428757979072011-02-02T15:04:54.640-08:002011-02-02T15:04:54.640-08:00Dr. Monkey--we never care about "old Europe&q...Dr. Monkey--we never care about "old Europe" as Darth Cheney called it, but when it's Central or South America, the Middle East, or Asia, the Empire kicks in and fucks things up. <br /><br />Abu Scooter--I can only hope you're right, that things are moving so fast that we don't have time to step in and fuck things up. I know the reich-wingers are sounding the alarm because, god forbid, "we don't know what's going to happen! it could impact 'stability!'" The all-powerful all vague "stability" card, played whenever some country doesn't kiss our ass and let us roll over them.dguzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01811101661607351661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18773945.post-74770019561626988672011-02-02T13:20:48.735-08:002011-02-02T13:20:48.735-08:00Maybe Obama won't do anything else.

Beyond that, doing nothing would be a great way to piss off the Likud boys in Tel Aviv and, not incidentally, their Dominionist and Zionist supporters here in the States. We can hope, I suppose.Abu Scooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042644295020578484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18773945.post-35366514414019137632011-02-01T21:57:45.223-08:002011-02-01T21:57:45.223-08:00We kind of stayed out of the way in Romania, Polan...We kind of stayed out of the way in Romania, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. Our record in the Middle East is much more murky. However I have no doubt that Obama will do the thing that most pisses off his base in this situation.Dr. Monkey Hussein Monkersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14871033999478634222noreply@blogger.com
