The Independent Thinker

The current U.S. policy in the Middle East  is really getting outdated.  And I would even say it stinks. That is why we are getting more isolated in this world. Call me a liberal if you want but I don't care because our kids, grandkids or great grandkids need to find a safe place to live.

Israel is our close allied, it is true.  But that country has its own interests and the U.S. has its own.  Therefore our fate can not be bound to the fate of Israel.  It is time we tell  Israel we cannot babysit her for ever.

We do not talk to Iran, Syria, Hamas, Hezbollah - big players in the Middle East - because we perceive them as our enemies.  Maybe they are.  I thought though it was always better to keep our enemies close (...so we could better strangle them when the need arises).

As the situation of the world getting more complicated, we the voters need to take a second look, a third look at our leaders before we elect them because we cannot afford to have people without  vision, smartness and without global perspective lead the U.S..
