I couldn't agree with you more there. We are like walking targets thanks to our idiotic foreign policy in the middle east. Instead of being an impartial mediator, we have been identified as the "big brother" to Israel thanks to our, as you have stated, "unilateral support" of Israel. We do need a drastic shift in global geopolitical strategy, one that looks out for the interest of the US Citizens, for once.
