A step in the right direction, but how about we worry about capitalism in our own country first? Oh, and freedom, and national debt, and taxes, and liberty, and photography [1], and terr^H^H^H^Hparanoia. We have WAY too many problems here to be worried about Isreal and Iran. In airplanes they tell you to put your oxygen mask on first, then help your neighbor. We're not going to be any good to anyone if we fall flat on our faces while trying to be misguided saviour to the rest of the world. Also, this saviour complex only acurately describes the feeble sheep in this country. The ones actually making the policies are in it for themselves. They don't care about you or I or isreal or the world or any of it. It's all about power and money. Neocon means "new conservative" and is a reflection on how those who call themselves conservative today are a mere perverse mutation of what conservatism once stood for. Von Fugal
