Some ethnic groups in the US can point fingers at LIBERAL DEMOCRATS who performed ethnic cleansing on those ethnic groups. Yet, those ethnic groups have forgiven and moved on. Is there a reason the Israeli's haven't learned the lessons of the Talmud/Torah better? At some point, where does the violent eye-for-eye mentality end? Nuclear weapons?

I feel that if Israel and the Arab world are going to be this reckless, we should remove ourselves from the situation and allow the two groups to settle it on their own... and WITHOUT dragging our families into the middle of their squabble.

If it were not for the strategic importance of the oil in that region, we would not worry about this regional instability.

The US gov't needs to develop other sources of oil since the Mideast nations are unable to address problems in a more constructive fashion.

I'd rather not be involved either but since we are involved telling the Israelis not to defend themselves is ludicrous.
