My Conspiracy Theory II
I think the Charedi/Chardal fusion will take a bit longer than the democratization of Iraq/Palestinian Authority, which ever is given the 'heksher' first. But I think overall my conspiracy theory is not far off. More Chardal American Olim will likely be precipitated by an "Israel-ization" of sorts in the U.S.; a defused Socialism, Rahm Emmanuel's talk of "civilian service", the socially-engineered secularization of much of the population, the alienation of religious populations, etc. A degree of that kind of segmentation is the result of a parliamentary system of government. We are an older "nation of immigrants" but such a nation none the less, and indeed also an "experiment" of sorts - but who knows what OUR future holds.
