Florida Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has announced she will resign as chair of the Democratic National Committee. The resignation is to become effective after the party's convention. The organisation's e-mail system was hacked; leaked e-mails appear to confirm accusations that Wasserman-Schultz had taken action favouring Hillary Clinton in her contest against Bernie Sanders to become the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Sanders had previously called for Wasserman-Schultz to resign, a request he reiterated in light of the leak.
Wasserman-Schultz said in a statement:
I know that electing Hillary Clinton as our next president is critical for America's future. I look forward to serving as a surrogate for her campaign in Florida and across the country to ensure her victory.

Well, see, this is the part I'm really unclear about. What exactly is the benefit to us plebs if the US government achieves global domination? For that matter, why is it in any way my concern whether Israel remains a Jewish state?

Clearly we don't want that. Without an enemy it will turn on us and even itself. Such is the nature of things. We are probably safest to just stay out of the crossfire.
