What republican candidate are you pulling for.

The Suez Crisis in the 1950s began with the Israelis invading Egypt with the support of the Brits, after Egypt refused to open the canal to Israeli shipping, which was not in direct violation of any agreement.

This is not true. Egypt and Britain had an agreement that the Suez Canal Company would be under British rule through 1968. Nasser broke the treaty, nationalized the company and cut off Israel in 1956 (I think) when the U.S. told them it would no longer fund the building of the Aswan dam.

The six-day war was a shared responsibility. Egypt massed along the Israeli border, but never invaded. Israel responded by bombing the crap out of them, and taking over Gaza, the West Bank and Golan Heights.

A justified response. Nasser had kicked the UN out of Sinai and was ready to launch an attack on Israel with 100,000 troops. He had closed the Straits of Teran and then stated, "Our basic objective will be the destruction of Israel. The Arab people want to fight." Israel's strike may have been preemptive, but there is no way that they could have avoided that conflict.

We will not have to worry about a Nuclear Iran as Israel will take action when they have to. Our Coward president will not have to give permission as Israel does not need our approval to take action. For those of you that think a Nuclear Iran is Ok, i say you have no idea on the issues at hand. We have nukes to deter anyone from attacking us! Iran wants a Nuke to USE the day they get it done.

If Obama wins the USA will become GREECE very very Fast. Our economy will Fail like no one has ever seen. He is a Socialist and his policy will KILL the USA as we now know it. Thanks GOD i made some really good money in the early 2000's and SAVED it. I just feel sorry for the younger ones trying to make a living in the future.

I know I'm way late on this, but I have a question.
If Socialism brings nations to their knees, why is the US economy in the toilet while Canada's (while it's not great) is currently one of the world leaders?

Because the USA is now socialist. Socialism is government regulation of businesses.

Because Canada took austerity measures in the 90s when they were going through their recession.

This may be the first election I vote for an independent as President. A vote for Romney is not much better than voting for a Democrat. I guess it really doesn't matter, since 1930 Democrats have taken NY State 70% of the time during the General Election...Rick

I think it's actually the reverse and business regulates government which is probaby a lot worse.

As a citizen of a Socialist country, you have a long way to go before you reach Socialism in the US. A long, long way.

Because Canada took austerity measures in the 90s when they were going through their recession.

Okay, so if Socialism is so evil and will ruin a nation, why hasn't it ruined us up here? Canada took austerity measures, sure, but it's still Socialist and it still has a good economy right now, so obviously Socialism itself isn'te the problem at all.

I'd like to know why so many Americans think Socialism is the devil and will ruin your country.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not starting a fight or saying, "my coutry's better than yours" or "you're all stupid, Socialism is the way to go", this is a question I've had for years and no one has ever been able to answer it.

I'm an American, and I have no idea why so many of my brethren feel this way.

For the record, Canada is NOT a socialist country. We have a lot of structure in our government that looks similar to socialism, more so than the US, and less so than France.
