Immorality exists largely in the realm of fiction and puritanical fantasy, for few people reflect on their actions remarking, "I have behaved immorally," and then continue to behave in the same manner. No, the actions of others are immoral, whereas my action are justifiable.

The agents of Babylon are more accurately categorized as amoral - just following orders in a parlance. It is too bad then, that the order to love is never given. Of course, love is not a dignified use of federal dollars. We give patriotic orders - orders to drive through minefields to protect people who want us to leave from people who want us to die; orders to destabilize countries hunting for enemies that feed on instability. These are the orders, when followed unquestioningly, will instill pride in your sons whether you leave your body or mind in some desert or you make it home "safe" to slowly die suspended in a matrix of mundanity. Loving a friend can be more laborious than despising an enemy, so it is no surprise that the American commits the expedience of hatred.

Does the motherland do anything out of selflessness? She defends Israel like its entitled child who got caught cheating at school. Even she knows Israel has done something wrong, but if she doesn't make a scene in the principal's office her son will doubt her love and loyalty and be stunted developmentally. Again, the motives are not entirely selfless, but they are driven by the need to be appreciated.

An educated idiot came forward to reassure our adopted son, "The United States Congress will always stand by Israel and the United States Congress will never allow Israel to stand alone." Therefore, either Israel cannot commit wrongdoing, or the US would aid Israel in committing wrongdoing.  

Love, education, empathy, rationality - these are not causes worthy of federal expenditures.
