you don't say
2. I wouldn't worry too much. The USA will find some country ..

to invade. Maybe they will buy our "goodies" to protect their border with Mexico. We have great technology for building walls very quickly which are very successful in keeping the terrorists out. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop those Israelis who hate Israel like Peace NOW! B'Tzelem and the Coalition of Women for Peace, from spreading their hatred all over the world! Actually, the USA has a very good facility for that problem. Its called Guantanamo Bay! Maybe we could buy that!
3. To 1
Shai ,   IL   (07.08.11)
Rina, we export flowers for boquets, too. Does that mean we produce smiles? Puhleeze.
4. Give more money to the I.D.F. to replace
jason white ,   afula, israel   (07.08.11)
older weapons. Start building the extra divisions that we will need in the south to fight egypt in the future. And look to the eastern front, it should be strengthened.
5. Wy not make ISRAEL biger and LARGER
josi ,   norway   (07.08.11)
by expanding the coastline ,making islands of sand,where a new industrie can floris,high tech ,solar energy ,new habitats,. ELBIT and SIBAT can put there heads together and create something New .,something the world REALY needs.
6. 2 billion here, 2 billion there
courtney ,   usa   (07.08.11)
the US defense budget may be facing cutbacks, but it will still be half a trillion dollars... the article also fails to mention the billions my govt "gives" to israel to be spent on US domestic defense spending sold to israel
7. #4 Jason: What about the north or are we expendable?
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (07.08.11)
62 missiles fell on Karmiel 5 years ago. one fell 30 meters from where I live and the building was damaged.We have 30 seconds to get in to the shelter when the siren sounds. From Akko (Acre) to Kiiyat Shemona there are only seconds to take cover! So maybe you could find some folks to strengthen the North and take on Hezbollah?
8. And how long will it take for the Arabs ....
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (07.08.11)
to claim that Israel has stolen their sea?
9. Export decline
Ameridane ,   Aarhus, Denmark   (07.09.11)
Just go ahead, buy some more Airbus planes with US funds to compensate for the loss of export orders-makes sense!
