America's Threats
Well this is my first post, so here it goes. It's my blog, so deal with it. What is threatening America? Well first, there is Terrorism. Terrorism has been a sword of Damocles that is dangling over our collective head since the 1960s. Others feel our economy is a major threat, despite a healthy recovery of over 1 million jobs since 9-11, and unemployment hitting a 12 year low. Many feel the threat to America is runaway illegal immigration. And some still feel that America is threat to itself by alienating old allies and gaining new enemies at the same time. This is for discussion. I think all of the above weigh heavily and differently as threats. What Say You?

There are much bigger issues to worry about, like immigration and world population.
The only response to terrorism is overwhelming force, but at the same time it is impossible to police the world completely. If we try, we will go the way of the romans.
We need to withdraw support for israel and get out of the business of international politics and concentrate on an America that is not a third world shithole.

Underhill, I disagree. If you withdraw support, it will not stop the surge of terrorism. It will embolden the filth. FYI- try to keep it clean here. Immigration, I could not agree with you more that immigration is important. We cannot set up another Berlin Wall, as some states love the deluge of illegal entries. We can't focus on all other issues until this dragon is slain or at least crippled enough to not be a menace. Underhill, if we go to isolationist, which we were pointing toward in WWII, don't be suprised if we get attacked again. Now I know the Founding Fathers said No Entangling alliances, bet they'd love the UN, but let's not ignore what could threaten us. WSY?

Underhill, not to dog on you man, but wasn't America worse off years before now? Malaise and inflation in the 1970's. I remember my folks complaining about that. America is not perfect, but it's like an Ernst Hemingway Quote- It's a good place and worth fighting.
