I share your hope, don't get me wrong. I just have a hard time looking at our culture and seeing the average American getting very animated about avenging Israel in the way some Freepers imagine.

I'd like to think I'm wrong in this case, but I don't think so.

I said: I'm not going to engage in some of the retarded rhetoric your post inspired in others. But I think (or maybe I hope) that if we get nuked and we can pin it on someone, there will be a large, smoking crater where they used to be about twenty four hours later. Why twenty four hours later? To give all good Americans time to stock up on popcorn and beer to watch the show. This particular reply was in response a post of yours that said you didn't see America reacting to 2 or 3 nukes on America. Wasn't talking about the response to an attack on Israel, though I'd like to think the American Israel friendship and shared interests would be enough for America to go to bat there as well.

If you read David Horowitz (and I click there everyday), you will see a picture of US intellectuals who are pro-Pali and hate Israel. Does the NYT support Israel? I sure don't get that impression. Leiberman is about the only consistently pro-Israel pol among the Dems. Would Schumer go hawk for Israel?

To beat the drums of war for Israel, you'd need someone with clout. Like, who? You'd certainly have the neos telling Joe Sixpack that he'd better pack up his guns and get with it. The evangelicals would be on board, and the neos would try to hide their Icky Shudders at having to rub elbows with Baptists...

I see your point.
