[Levin is spot on, both in his analysis of today and in his history but there is one thing he left out. In 1973 Israel was attacked by almost all of its neighbor. It was a surprise attack on Yom Kippur. In response, America mounted the largest air lift in history, not far short of the scale of what was called REFORGER, the return of forces to Germany to fight the Soviets. The problem was all of Europe denied the US overflight rights, although the UK did allow us to use our bases for our tankers. Thus was Israel saved by America. The Arab response was OPEC, and gas lines in America. The response of the American bureaucracy that we now call the deep state or the uniparty? The coup against the most popular president since early in FDRs term. Now you know why Nixon was ousted within months after winning 49 states in 1972. Neo]
