[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 2588640, member: 25419"] They look like us? OK, so does Germany, Switzerland France, etc... "Mostly" believe in concepts of freedom and liberty. Not really sure that comes to play here, but even if it did, our "constitution-free" border areas look like anarchy compared to them. (I know, I know, gotta protect the people from terror) Would not cut off our heads. OK, but, then, we haven't occupied them, either. I personally have never felt like someone may remove my head for being an infidel, and plan on staying in areas that don't promote that. (it's not my problem how they run other countries) Historical, familial ties? Hmmm. Not sure about that one. Some would argue that our country was founded on "Judeo-Christian" values, yet that term wasn't invented until fairly recently. It has been repeated often enough, that I suppose it's been moved into the "fact" category. Functioning, flourishing...guess that depends on which day you listen to the news. One day Israel is the shining example of prophecy fulfilled, the new land of milk and honey. Next day, the poor souls in Israel are struggling for their very existence. BTW - America is the example of flourishing - we succeeded for many years without the sponsorship of a "big brother" country. In fact, our existence and success relied on our independence from that very thing. I hear folks say "America for Americans" when they whine about the Mexican invasion, yet few pause to consider how we are failing to adhere to "America for Americans" when we get so tied up with another country, that a large part of the world views America and Israel as one in the same.
