    Why should an american who is not Jewish care about Israel. My parents are from India, yet I do not want the USA to sacrifice anything for India regarding Kashmir.

    You talk about American exceptionalism. At least over the past 50 years, USA has been exceptional where you have had most of the world off the playing field. We were the Harlem Globtrotters playing the Washington Generals. Now everyone else has their game on, it's going to be different.

    Yes... let's all root for a weak America.

    Power sucks.

    Submission is so much fun.
