The socialist utopia America will soon be a reality.

With all respect due a Fellow Freeper and...I mean this in the nicest way possible...

Horseshit.

I certainly hope you are right and I am wrong, Sam.

However I am sure the Islamic intent universally in the Middle east is the destruction of Israel regardless of consequences. I believe that the result will likely damage the Suez Canal (8% of world trade) and the Saudi oil fields, or the Saudi willingness to sell to us. (48% of US oil usage)

These losses will collapse the US economy, and a significant part of the created wealth in the world stock markets.

It would be easy for a socialist President to use a crisis like this to expand socialist policy and control. Ask yourself, what would FDR do?
