Are you saying that having Israel implement polices that undermine it's own sovereignty and longevity is in America's best interest?
That's not what Bush is advocating, but rather a more restrained Israeli position at this sensitive time. Again, you start from the perspective that everything the Israeli government does, in a military vein, must be supported automatically. My starting point is that American interests must be the first factor to be consulted.
My starting point and ending point is that each nation must act in it's own behalf, it's own best interests. What the US prescribes for Israel is so much hot air if it doesn't protect Israel's standing.
By your standard Israel and other nations would have sign off rights to our responses to terrorism.
I don't think so.
