You're right... no point in saving you. Why do you think Israel is on the brink? How many millions/billions of tax dollars has gone to the countries that hate Israel? Sadly it is time to back away from foreign entanglements and save THE USA. Tough decisions now have to be made... We can make them now while we still have some fight or we can make them later when we all speak some foreign language...
Isolating yourself is not the answer. See WWI and WWII. And you read Slate. Enough said.
