Obama is intelligent enough to see the correct path but probably not courageous enough to follow it. His first three actions should have been:

* Declare a temporary embargo on offensive weapons to both Israel and Hamas to show he is humane and to win the Muslim world sympathy

* Order crush FBI investigation of the big lobbies in Washington to force Congress and Senate loyalty to their country interests

* Nationalize all large productive companies and declare a debt moratorium then let the finance sector fall to pieces

Obama seems afraid of the big lobbies who put the US in this crisis. Seeking consensus with the enemy usually doesn't help.

The good side of this crisis is that a US collapse may be good to the rest of the world. The world will probably go in a direction of more cooperation, less hypocrisy and less self-righteousness. The UN should be moved to a neutral country and the general assembly given power over the Security Council. A Golden Age may be awaiting us just around the corner.
