>>...tensions that may drag us into a war to help defend Israel...<<

Drag us? Good grief. First, there is no power in the middle east that could defeat Israel. Not even collectively. Second, Israel is our ally. It would be an honor to defend Israel against these murdering A-rabs.

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Nations don't have friends, they have interests. It would not be an honor to defend the sovereignty of any nation unless it serves our own. American blood shouldn't be spilled solely in the interest of Israel. Look at our wars -- how often has Israel gone out of its way to spill their blood for us?
