Well, we'd have to wait and see, I suppose, although we and others, even the Frogs, have joined with America in conflicts in the Middle East.

What? Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, etc? Perhaps they have a suicide wish!

It took the Zimmerman Telegram to get them to move from selling to both sides in pre-escalation WW1 and Pearl Germany declaring war on America to get them to step up in the case of WW2.
So you believe that if someone attacked American citizens and resources in this country, America would just sit back and accept it? And the same people attacked our own land, we would do the same?
I think you're running out of ideas and certainly I have seen no evidence to support your opinions.
Getting back on-topic. Perhaps you are suggesting that if we don't pay foreign aid we shall be attacked by Pakistan, Iraq, Iran and others, or have I missed your point?
