The US choice to side with Israel has more to do with politics and money than any humanitarian interests. Anyone with reason knows that if you want to know the who or why in a political situation then you can follow the yellow brick road. Follow the money. So many Americans know that greed and power are a key motivation in world politics, but we are putting our blinders on now. Justice is necessary.
Peaceful mind is necessary.
A hard and critical look at American foreign policy is necessary. The veil of illusions must be pulled from the eyes of the American people if we are to learn anything and prevent more violence. In conclusion, I see America going either of to ways. Either we will become some police state in our own country, stripping freedom abroad, crushing developing nations and governments not favorable to the corporate America's capitalist interests, OR we will grow into a responsible, honest leader of nations because we see America as an example for others. The United States of America, Americans, will find redemption not by hunting down and killing more and therefore continuing the cycle of violence, but by actively pursuing the cause of peace and justice for all humans, for all civilization.
