It will be difficult for the US to get anything done
as long as it's two biggest creditors are it's two biggest enemies...namely, the Oil Lords of Araby and the Cheap labor Chinese.
Lately, the American influence is mainly limited to Britain and Tony the Poodle...and sometimes to Germany.
Israel, for whom the US has sacrificed everything...is only occasionally agreeable to American policies...and even then only when it "fits" Israels "goals" or the Israelis want "protection" from some Muslim nation...like Iraq and now Iran.
Israel sent Dubya into Iraq...and now it wants "something done" about Iran.
But an "Iran Adventure" for the US seems totally out of the question... The risk to the global "system" of trade and commerce could not stand an oil disruption. And the US budget is nearly busted...to the point where Araby and the Chinese Bankers may have to "approve" any extra American spending in the coming years.
And Dubya's existing "Afhanistan Adventure" and "Iraq Adventure" are not going too well either.
The unpopularity of Dubya & Co has turned the world against the US and exposed and exaggerated every vulnerability...in a few short years.
