Israel also turned the desert into an oasis. They are now a food exporter.

The tale of every state that has a large population of Muslims is the same; there is no exception. And that tale is that we have seen the Western high water mark, and it is now receding (Arguably Europe has seen the western high water mark also, albeit for different reasons).

Is that an Arab spring? Ataturk must be rolling in his grave. And we fear for Indonesia and that the violence is only beginning there.

It seems to me that the Israelis are taking care of business in a business like manner while we are running about ia all directions due to a disfunctional government, disfunctional fourth estate and a disfunctional populace. I suspect that, even in these perilous times, a significant percentage of the American public has no idea as to what is going on politically and economically. Israels GDP? What’s GDP? Is that part of Obama’s Jobs Plan? Who’s the next to be vored off Dancing With the Stars?

Not only should we NOT follow an interventionist foreign policy (on principle) – but the intervention almost always seems to be negative. What great benefits have come to ordinary Americans (State Department and Defense contractors do not count!) from our activities in Somalia, Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Kosovo, etc.?
