Not to butt in here but.....
One of my friends here in the US remarked that it looked "like a train wreck in slow motion".
Do you have any kids Buck? Because thats where you begin to see where this all is going.
We can't extricate ourselves from the Middle East, poverty is on the rise and our economy is tanking while millions of illegals flood the country. There will be food and gas shortages and increased crime. See any way out of that?
