for negotiations gives them part of the town and then leaves the town-folks to deal with the outlaws left in town. Then he takes his wagon ride out of town with the Mrs. What is this editorial staff thinking, that by being nice the murder he will not kill your other child!

The US is the America that Mitch McConnell and John Boehner planned on inauguration night 2009. They decided to oppose everything and sabotage all that they possible could from that day forth until Obama was broken. The US is more divided now than since Vietnam and the US Civil War. Neoconfederates are even being hired by Senate Republicans and running against mainstream Republicans. It is hard for a nation divided to stand.

What about Iran’s support for Hezbollah, Hamas, Syria, terrorism throughout the world? Are these to be ignored as “inconvenient”?

Obama has failed at everything except killing Bin Laden and you still trying to defend him. And Obama have laid foundation for his own failure when entire Congress was at his disposal. We should count our lucky stars that at very least GOP was able to put some breaks on Obama's disastrous behavior. I understand how some people could make a mistake in 2008, but 2012 is completely unforgivable.

Leo, Israel is free to play or be marshal. The US government is not going to change until 2016. Then Netanyahu will be saying the same stuff and exhorting the next President to do something. Neocons will not return to power. Congress is not going to declare a war, either. The Tea Party will prevent that.

Get off! Stop trying to shot the blame to others. Obama is quite possibly the worst president in living memory (including Carter).

You seem to have more faith and trust in Iran than does our BIBI. With all the puffing and huffing, I doubt if Lieberman, Bennet or anyone else would have attacked Iran at present either...but if the IAF and the Navy are confident, Iran can be whipped in a few hours. Relax and watch High Noon. In America, reality exists only in the movies. In Israel life and heroism is reality.

BTW, since we are into speculation I expect drastic change in our government in 2014 and beyond and all of it due to courtesy of Obamacare. I am not even sure American liberals will be able to survive and serious damage to Democratic party will be done too. Lyndon Johnson is probably spinning in his grave watching Obama.

There is apparently something wrong with the psyche of people who vote Left. Look at Israel. Leftist voters still vote for messianic Leftist beliefs even after they were raped by the reality of the Oslo accords: Oslo bus bomb war in Tel Aviv, Second Intifada, rockets on the South and Tel Aviv, Hezbollah and Hamas ascendancy. Expect the same in the US in light of Obamacare. Millions of formerly middle class people will not have insurance. Millions more will pay quadruple premiums, but not be able to afford the deductible and copays. Yet these Leftists will still vote Democrat.

Sir, "High Noon" was the first American western made where the townspeople were not on the side of law and order and where the marshal (the force of civilization) turns his back on the people at the end. Five years before (say, 1947) such a film could not have been made. Also, the gang was returning for the purpose of killing Marshal Kane, who had already cleaned up the town once. The people were in no doubt as to what Frank Miller and his boys were like. A more complex message about America than most people care to consider. Philip Gold

Left and Right are heavily biased as, frankly, all people are. However, my bet is on American independent voters like myself.

One need merely look at the fantastic political and economic decline of America, since Obama's inauguration. Obama is destroying America. Obama has made America into a laughingstock. The only thing we are not sure about is whether he is destroying America on purpose or through absolute incompetence or both.

You or us? We shall see.
