Disillusion

Many of us grew up believing in the greatness and goodness of our beloved country, America. We believed that in America, the great melting pot, immigrant citizens shed former allegiances and became loyal Americans. Now we find that there are Americans belonging to a powerful Israel Lobby whose loyalty is to Israel, not America. We also were led to believe that our government of the people represented the American public. Now we find that our congressmen only represent those special interest groups whose money funds their election campaigns and who therefore are able to dictate foreign policy. Paramount among these groups is the Israel Lobby which leads us into wars for Israel to the detriment of America. As America goes into bankruptcy borrowing $3 billion per week to fund the Iraq war, we should reflect upon instances of third world debt also incurred by self-serving leaders. Many of these countries have never recovered.
