I think what unites Buchanan and the Islamofacists might be a mutual distrust of a certain persecuted people from the middle east [and New York city].

Heh! I follow. Believe me. And you're right.

If you really think that the US should dedicate a few Divisions and a Fleet to the defense of Israel, and believe that such defense is perpetually in the national interests of the USA...

Then you should send YOUR sons and daughters over there, pronto.

The debate is about the national interests of the US, not the national interests of Israel. Occasionally they are congruent. More often, they are roughly parallel. But they will NEVER be ALWAYS congruent--unless Israel becomes the 51st State.
