the US is not Israel. Israel is a little country in a hostile neighborhood

So you do agree that for self preservation, the US should sacrifice Israel to placate the islamic fundamentalists?

Karen, you have simply not absorbed the lesson of 9/11. An enemy inspired by fanaticism and no holds barred doesn't need divisions because he can leverage assymetrical warfare. If (G-d forbid) we were to lose 3 cities in a day to dirty bombs, would the US still "exist"? Certainly, but in a radically altered form.

Can you really maintain that such a scenario is not a serious possibility?
