We will recognize you, whoever you aren't yet, and then we'll feel good and nice, having done right by a former colony, and then leave you to murder Syrian Christians and Allawites, and eventually start a war with you-know-who. Tou jour le beaux sentement (however you spell it).

Modern diplomacy: Making the world safe for genocide.

Israel won’t survive a next deade without an alliance with China or Russia.
It is clear both Europe and Obama’s government replaced Israel with Al-Qaeda as a major partner in ME.
Not only Israel as a most advanced society there is a target. Every moderate regime is getting systematically destroyed to be replaced with radicals and all with US taxpayers’ money and State Dept blessing.
Killing Osama was an essential psy-op against American public in this landslide. Obama destroyed the most notorious fugure within Al-Qaeda (which in reality is nothing more that a symbolic talking head) linked to 9/11 tragedy to make PR point as it is no more a threat and we can deal with it now.
In a decade we’ll see a kind of powerful radical islamist superstate in form of confederation. It will cover most of ME, all the Northern Africa struggling against Russia and China to expand into Europe and Central Asia.
It will have both nukes and delivery systems and in no way friendly to the West.

I fear that your analysis is correct. This looks like a repeat of the Libya story.
