The time has long passed since "eventually" was the right word to use... it DOES affect us all, but most of us (by "us" I mean Americans) do not recognize that fact, unfortunately.

I just returned from another trip to Israel's northern neighbor, Lebanon, and cannot understand how many Americans don't even know where Lebanon is on a map, let alone be ignorant of how their own country's foreign policies affect so many other countries in the Middle East. "That war between Israel and Lebanon in 2006? What does that have to do with the US, huh?"
