Married to a Brit for 15 years, I immigrated to the UK and came back only for a family emergency. I took a Masters in English Lit, so I have affinity for the west. Still, I am an Asian and we think very differently from Americans. We welcome Jews to come here and do everything to ease their absorption into life here. Children are a blessing, and we subsidize the first eight children born to a family.
Outnumbered 40 to 1 surrounded by hostiles, we are close to extinction. Our survival depends on not making mistakes.
Antagonism and war we can not afford. Our security lies in trade compromise and diplomacy.
Our religious traditions are inviolable forming the basis of our lives.
Although I have outlined only a bit, you can see how different we are.
Several times in history my people have fought to the death to maintain our cultural and religious principles. Perhaps, you see this as self-destructive.
Conversely, I can’t understand how Americans could give up the Republic and the Constitution so easily. What is behind your sudden passion for preemptive war? All of Asia wonders.

One of them is that the majority of the people in the USA [who are no different from others] want a strong leader who is also like them [given to being drunk, drug addicts].
Another has been the ethnic tensions that have flared since this idiot Bush came to office. Now many ethnic groups are beginning to identify themselves by their ethnicity and then the country. Others have the attitude of "I am More American than Thou" between ethnic groups. I once saw a White Anglo-Saxon tell a US Latin and African American: "I am more American than you". To which they replied: "We are more American than you" The inevitable fight ensued.
A Third Reason is that there are states such as Vermont [see Vermont Commons in Google or visit my blog concerning Vermont] are tired of the follies of Washington and want to establish their own republic.
A Last Reason is that the Majority of the people of the USA want Cheap Entertainment like "American Idol", Soap Operas, Gossip Columnists, The latest on parasites who do nothing but flaunt their wealth.
Conclusion: Israel and the Jewish People will survive. The USA may one day end up like the Roman Empire, killed by its own greed, envy, anger, hatred, blaming others instead of taking responsability. I say this to you because when I have said this about America, I have been accused of destabilization, racism, crimes against humanity. My response has been to tell the US People: "Take A Hard Look At Yourself".
Today, critics use personal invective in place of rational discourse. As a woman, I get less heat than you do.
Plato said, "Know thyself!"
Americans ignore Asian politics and economics at their peril. A nation that makes war against an unknown foe risks much for no apparent benefit. Asians hold much of the US national debt of $53 trillions. If they convert to Euros, the USA is in deep trouble.
The Americans executed him and played a big part in the killing of 665,000 Iraqis to punish Iraq for not going along with the New American Century.
Counterfeiting greenbacks stealing oil and extorting support from Asians at gunpoint, the US public [30%] remains proud at what they have done.
Do you think the National Guard would invade Vermont to establish Martial Law?
As for your other question concerning why we give up our Republic and our Constitution: Our country is almost 2 1/2 centuries old now. Prosperity and peace are rare and fleeting things that often do not survive even that long. Corruption, devience and moral weakness are inevitable products of wealth and power as we've seen throughout history. Your own Neo-Israel is not quite 60 years old yet I've often read your complaints about governmental corruption and incompetence. Both of our nations might rebound from the declines we are in but the factional stresses present a serious barrier to progress.
