Taking the results of that strategy a step further, we might have dangerously stirred up a hornet's nest in the whole middle east.
We sure couldn't count on our "faithful friends" on that side of the world to join us in fighting off Iran and Syria, e.g., along with the terrorist organizations this region has spawned.
Aside from risking that outcome, which I fear would worsen the whole ugly mess, I'm with you 100%.
Too late. By being on Israel's side in this last summer's war, if for nothing else, the hornets are indeed stirred up. There's really nothing we can do to calm them, even the moderates among them hold grudges for at least seven generations. What really motivates them is weakness, however. And we're about to show weakness to an enemy that is without civilized morals. The Nazis would have been more generous with us, had they prevailed in WWII.
