[QUOTE="soonerwings, post: 1617449, member: 8035"] There is some misdirection here, whether intended or not. To imply that the economic/social direction that the United States has taken in the past 60 years is somehow connected to poor foreign policy in the middle east is somewhat baffling. The "entitlement generation" is a product of decades of government indulgence and over spending, not as a product of helping someone that has been deemed an ally. Whether or not the nation of Israel is truly an ally is beside the point. Blaming them for the predicament that we've put ourselves in is simply incorrect. Furthermore, I believe that America has been truly blessed but not so much as a result of what we've done around the world as much as here in our own back yard. This nation started out as one seeking freedom and equality and though there were some tough times we've managed to make it through all of them. We used to be a nation of people that loved their neighbors, but in recent decades we've become obsessed with self and instant gratification. Lately, I've begun to wonder if most people in our nation these days wouldn't rather give their neighbor "one to the hip" than try to reason with them and build enduring friendships. These are just my views and of course there is no hard proof for matters of faith. Rant switch disengaged. [/QUOTE]
