.......a ....ah....er..Because it is in OUR, (AMERICA, THE UNITED STATES, OUR OWN COUNTRY, OUR CITIZENS, YOUR NEIGHBORS, THE AMERICA THAT SUPPORTS ISRAEL, THE PEOPLE THAT WORK TO PAY THE TAXES TO SEND TO ISRAEL, THE COUNTRY THAT KEEPS ISRAEL AS AN INDEPENDENT STATE) best interest!
Support of Israel.
Support of pro Western Oil producing Arab states.
The leaders of the two most radical Islamic terrorist movements are a ex Saudi Citizen, and a ex Egyptian Citizen, both states the America supports and needs to keep its Middle East policy on track.
These movements are the extreme edge of what many Arabs in the street think.
The current low/medium intensity Israeli Palestinian conflict. The continuing sanctions and air strikes against Iraq, and the location of troops on Saudi Arabian soil, these three are running sores, draining away support for the pro Western Arab leaders who America relies on.
And know we have the war on Terrorism, Osama Bin Ladens Video address to the world hit all the right notes for the Arab population, he appealed as much to Arab Nationalism even more so than the Islamic religion
America is stuck between a rock and a hard place, she wants to win the war against the terrorists, she wants to continue to play a part in the Arab world, and she wants to continue her support of Israel.
Whether she can juggle all three remains to be seen, but at the moment neither the Jewish or Muslim population are happy with the current situation, a policy of making sure no one loses or wins.
