Pinning its hopes on the sole support of the US, Israel risks a collapse if it is ever withdrawn - much like apartheid-era South Africa, prominent scholar Professor Noam Chomsky warns. ­He recalls how South Africans felt safe to ignore a UN embargo and corporations pulling out of their country throughout the 1980s, as long as the Reagan administration continued to support them. As soon as the US withdrew its support, the apartheid regime collapsed. "For 35 years, the US and Israel have been rejecting a political settlement that is supported virtually by the entire world. A couple of months ago, there was a meeting of the oligarchs -- people who pretty much run the economy [of Israel]," Chomsky says, "and they warned the government that it better accept something like this resolution, because otherwise, Israel will be, as they put it, South Africanized: even more isolated, with boycotts, refusal to load ships, and their economy will collapse."

The only reason for killing Osama bin Laden was he would have spoken too much at the court. And probably they didn't have enough evidence of him being guilty, can you imagine Bin Laden being declared 'not guilty' after everything they've said and done?

I don't feel as bad for the killing of major terrorist threats. It's a way of preventing the problem on the short time watch of presidents. It's an extremely small fraction of would be terrorists, they can't project more strategy, and it's much better than invading a country. It's not the best solution but I wouldn't want to see all these ring leader terrorists get captured and then not be put on trial until a Rick Perry administration.
