I didn't say it was up to us.... or that I trust his policy one way or the other. I said the US has a right look out for her interests, and Israel a right to look after hers.

hope you registered for the draft

That was a rhetorical and sarcastic remark designed to put you personally (hypothetically) in the position of being engaged by foreign powers based on who they were and without any US recourse or discussion.....
That was a cheap shot and I apologize.

I didn’t take it that way so no need to apologize. But I apologize for overreacting to your post on the Liberty. I’ve had bad experiences with some posters on that subject and am over-sensitive. I’m sorry.
