Sadly, it shouldn't be our call whether Israel should defend itself. Why do they need our permission.
They'll realize that when they get pushed too far and act on their own for their survival. And they'll be right to do so.

They don't need our permission, but our political support would help.

Sadly, it shouldn't be our call whether Israel should defend itself. Why do they need our permission.If we had not stopped them from attacking Iraq ten years ago, all hell would have broken loose in the middle east. One of the best accomplishments from the Bush Sr. team was that they were able to hold Israel back.

Sure our political support would help, and it's important, but when they don't get it, they need to stand and defend themselves regardless of what the State Department thinks.
To: kattracks
I was glad the US didn't ask for restraint this time instead they said that Israel has a right to defend itself.

I agree, but they are being bullied by the UN, and we need to stand up for them.

That was a different situation in wartime in which we and many other nations were directly involved. And we weren't hanging the Israelis out to dry, we aided them in their defense.
To: kattracks
Funny, right now I have more faith in America's will to fight terrorism than Israel's. That speaks very highly for George W. Bush.
To: kattracks
Let the Arab states cut off our oil. We can walk or ride horses. We can burn wood for heat in winter. I agree with everything except this part. If they cut off our oil, we shouldn't go back to horses. We should just take "their" oil, which is really only theirs for as long as they can defend it -- Just like they perceive Israel is only for the Jews as long for as the Jews can defend it. When they recognize other people's rights, that's when we will recognize theirs. We have appeased the Arabs for too long in this any many other regards. It's their turn to start appeasing.

One of the best accomplishments from the Bush Sr. team was that they were able to hold Israel back. Or do you mean that one of the best accomplishments of Powell was that he was able to let Saddam stay on, to supply the Anthrax that is now appearing in America?

Well of course I agree with you there, I got no use for the damn UN bastards...

Lest we forget, America rescued Arafat from a hotel in Beirut by Marine helicopter when Israel was just minutes away from sending him to Allahland during their Lebanon invasion.

No kidding!

It sounds and looks like Isreal wants to help us in some very real ways in our
WAR on Terrorism. When we are done in Afganistan we can head west. They can clear out Palestine and start into Syria. We will meet somewhere around where the Euphaties and the Tigris join together.
Yea....Thats the ticket!!
