Probably less than 5% of the American People even have a clue as to what is ahead, the chain reaction very possible, and the effect at the pumps, American lives, Israel, the whole nine yards. Probably 80% of that 5% is here on FR.

Americans have a bad national characteristic (among many excellent ones) now well established throughout history replete with examples, where it gets clarion, unmistakeable threats and warning signs ALL THE TIME of impending foreign danger(s), but still, even in light of that, due to insularity or laziness or whatever, only wakes up until AFTER it gets sucker punched in the head and there are already dead Americans.

This time in the Middle East will be no different.

And by and large, our traitorous mainstream US MSM, will opiate, dumb-down and/or disinform and distract the American People on absolutely meaningless stuff, like the Grammys and the Oscars or the Super Bowl, and see to this sad outcome, for sure.

There isn't any doubt in my mind. I have seen it time and again throughout my lifetime, and also know American history.

No one can blame Middle Easterns for desiring freedom and elections. But I am not so sure the people, on a whole, are ready for the responsibilities which go with that. Nor that the next leadership won’t bring the same or worse than they have known already.

Reminds me of people who get divorced....all the turmoil and no plans ahead, all trying to retain what’s perceived as theirs. Then when it passes they realize the costs...and the question..Now What? Amazingly they begin looking for a replacement to the very thing they just walked away from, but with all the strings from their former life....alimony, support, wealth lost, and the wake up call they are less “attractive” with all the baggage than before....Reality check!
