An Astrologer's Guide To The USA

The U.S. could find partners among the terrorists, or some such. Though it is likely anathema to Western ears, there is a symbiosis between the U.S. and the Islamic terrorists: both are extremely religious and feel they have a sacred right to utilize violence, both “fight for freedom,” both are extremely emotional, both are highly chauvinistic, both bury the truth in their enthusiasm, etc. And both, in their enthusiasm, wound their own kind – the terrorists kill their own countrymen, and the U.S. destroys its own “raison d’etre” – (constitutional) freedom. It spies on its own citizens (NSA) and denies them freedom of belief/speech. (Remember when comic/commentator Bill Maher was fired by his network because he said publicly that the 9/11 suicide pilots were “not cowards?”) (BTW, I am an American citizen; I hold dual Canadian/U.S. citizenship, and passports.) One party is hugely wealthy, one bitterly poor. Has a more destined enmity – or marriage – ever been seen? If Americans could see that many of the “terrorists” are like them, perhaps they could learn a softer, gentler approach and win them over, rather than run them over. (Yes, I hear the clanging bells protesting that I’m totally unrealistic. But 30 years ago, tearing down the Berlin Wall was considered totally unrealistic.)

Arms to the al Qaeda folks fighting Assad in Syria, mebbe? Teaming up w/them to beat up on Hizbollah? Going totally pro-Morsi in Egypt? Forming an alliance between the Christian conservatives here and al Qaeda there to do things like make homosexuality illegal all over again?
Hmm. Lots of possibilities....
