Well then, as much of a Bushbot as I am, I say this is arrogant and wrong. Would we sit back if some other coutnry told us to? Nope. And we shouldn't. And Israel shouldn't. Her first concern should be the defense of her and her people, not the approval of the U.S..

See SJackson's post #13 before you jump to conclusions.

I agree. The administration seems to be calling the shots re Isreal and how she defends her own people. The patriot missiles have been notoriously unreliable in the past (Gulf War I), and to placate the Isrealis with communications feed and the patriot missiles seems insulting.

Bush told Russia to sit back and not to bomb the Taliban after their trained Chechins blew up 3 apartment buildings, a subway underpass and a parade...what is new here? This is the same crap the US tells India constantly, when Pakistan sends its terrorists to kill Indians...seems some terrorists are not as bad as others.
