Right now, America doesn't ask us to do anything besides pay taxes. We don't even have to vote. But as psychologists will tell you, when you have to sacrifice for something, you value it more.

And it would mix this country racially, culturally, economically.

Israelis are wrong in not looking for a change in the relationship with the United States that would put it more in perspective - that we are the great power, they are the minor power.

When that becomes clear, I think Israel's days are numbered as an ally that is never questioned or criticized.
