[American in Israel]

Me too, I have lost a lot of trust in Bush, it seems Political games have a higher value than blood. With a man like that I cannot trust the lives of my family. I live only if it is expedient to him.

I had high hopes that Bush was a man of honor above politics, but it seems the days of honorable politicians is gone, perhaps for good.

You've always had a very clear head and a keen intellect I have admired since I was a lurker. I respect that very much.

It doesnt seem to matter if its a Republican or a Democrat, on the matter of Israel, they ultimately decide to assist them in national suicide. Makes me sick.

Geographically, we ( the US) are engaged in military action in Iraq and Afghanistan. Having troops on the ground there means we have troops who can be killed by these same terrorist idiots who are killing Israelis. Palestinian volunteers fought on the side of Iraq amd Saddam against us just a few weeks ago, and inflicted US casualties in Baghdad. I havent forgot.

it would be very easy for the entire Middle East region to fire up in a regional war over the Palestinian issue, and we would be immediately involved on the side of ISrael.

I wont even attempt to solve the middle east crisis from a keyboard, but I will say this. Its a lot easier and less bloody to come out firmly on the side of Israel, back her, and allow some type of containment to evolve from within the Arab world.

We cant afford to alienate an ally that is stauncher in their support for us than Great Britain ( check the UN records.)

But...its only my opinion

take care my friend

So who are you going to trust. Joe Lieberghoul, Dickie Gebhardt, Howard Dimwit or Lurch Kerry. Spare me the garbage.
