Having friendly relations with the nation of Israel does not make it incumbent upon U.S. taxpayers to send her money. Israel has nukes, and more than enough military might to whip her neighbors if need arose. I'd suggest we step back and let them solve their own problems.

I would agree to that with any nation in theory. But in reality, we can not do that because the enemies who would destroy Israel are out to destroy us. That is called reality and it must be dealt with by us, or face the consequences.

You fight the enemy where they are, you don't wait until you have to fight them on your own soil.

Because we funnel billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to their enemy and have U.S. troops on their soil.

One way to deal with it is to not throw your nation into the wars of others.

You fight the enemy where they are, you don't wait until you have to fight them on your own soil.

Which is what AQ saw when we put troops in Saudi. Next thing you know they're setting off bombs in the U.S., attacking U.S. warships, and blowing up U.S. embassies. Cause and effect is beyond some people's grasp apparently.

Tell me, what do you think America has gained by pouring billions of dollars into the Middle East (Isreal and despotic arab regimes alike), not to mention the thousands of lives lost once we embroiled ourselves in their wars?
