So by your logic the U.S. has no right to exist? We were not here first, is there a time limit to when a nation is legal? We have been hamstringing Israel for too long and now we want countries like IRAN to help us in our coalition! Of course they are pissed, we spoke like we were going to wipe out terrorism, and now it looks like we will just wipe out Bin Laden. Leaving Israel to fight the same old fights it has been fighting, only this time we might owe a favor to IRAN or some other goofed up country.

Perhaps you missed my point or didn't fully read my post.

Yes, we have a right to exist by virtue of our (and our friends around the world) being able to kick the sh!t out of anyone who tries to displace us. In the end that is what it boils down to. Whichever side can kick butt most effectively makes the rules. In the middle east, Israel is holding the [nuclear] aces.

I fully support Israel's right to exist in peace, not that my opinion matters.
