"Where else would you cut? Tsunami relief?? Aid to Israel??"
Tsunami relief is a good suggestion, remember the guy in Indonesia getting the aid packages from the Navy helicopters, while he was wearing an Osama Bin Ladin T-shirt? As for Israel, the strings that come attached with US may prove fatal to her very survival, look at what is happening in the Gaza right now.
Appeasement in Gaza will reap the same reward it gained at Munich, as the generation with six digit numbers tattooed on their arms dies out the lesson is forgotten. Also while your cutting off aid to Israel, don't forget Mohammed Attas homeland of Egypt.
Many nations can lose a war and survive, for Israel defeat in war means annihilation. I was in Dubai 6 years ago for a month, work related, and I ended up doing next to nothing. Lots of time on my hands, I was looking at the world map in the office and noted that the word "Israel" was crossed off with a magic marker. I found out that any map imported into the UAE goes to a government censor who crosses out the word "Israel."
This is a nation many hundreds of miles away from Egypt. These people want Israel wiped of the map for real, and Dubya is pushing Israel to reach an understanding with those who want to annihilate her. Exodus 1, verse 8 states "Now a new king arose over Egypt, who did not know Joseph." Israel better never forget those twelve words.
Instead of us spending a fortune keeping the peace between Israel and the Arabs, while a demographic tidal wave builds, better to let Israel strike her enemies now, from Damascus to Dubai. I rather like the idea of Israel stretching to the Euphrates River and the Persian Gulf.
Also, you could have offered up LSC, NEA and NPR. I hear that Air America is struggling, its a shame that liberal talk radio has compete with government subsidized competition. Maybe if some RINO's got neuticles implanted we could see that.
