Imagine the year is 2035. Mexico is now a developed nation with a strong arsenal, and the Arian Nation has taken over most of Texas. With the complicity of the U.S. government, the Arian Nation runs all the schools, hospitals, and other social services of Texas. It also patrols the boarder. Most Texans are happy to have the Arian Nation there, because they do a good job of running things and they make Texans feel safer. The U.S. government likes having the Arian Nation in Texas, because it means less money spent running Texas and more money left over for other things.
One day, the Arian Nation, which believes all non-whites should be destroyed and their land given to whites, attacks Mexico. Mexico responds by attacking Texas. The hostilities escalate into a full-fledged war. Mexico bombs the hell out of Texas, and the Arian Nation bombs the hell out of northern Mexico.
How would you respond to this news? Would it be different from or similar to how you're responding to the news out of Lebanon?
Just something to think about.
