"Besides, it's not clear that from a militray standpoint that Israel even needs the USA. Remember, Israel is a nuclear power with the most capable military in the world. IOW, Israel doesn't need the USA to fight its battles."

You're right, of course. Perhaps we should just cut Israel loose, so that it could turn the rest of the middle east into one big glass parking lot.

The civilized world would be in their debt, don't you agree?

It would be a tragedy for humanity, but no more so than if India and Pakistan fight each other with nuclear weapons. How is the fight between Israel and the Arabs any different in principle?

I don't advocate putting Americans in harm's way to stop other countries from annihilating each other. If Americans must risk war, let it be to defend our own shores from a direct threat.

In the meantime, if you feel so strongly about Israel, you're welcome to encourage your family members to contact a recruiter and enlist.
