[God] Bless America?" [God] Is Under No Such Obligation

He is if America believes Genesis 12: 1-3 and establishes its policy towards Israel accordingly. By His own word God is willingly obligated.

And since this article mentions 9-11, it is interesting to note that shortly after 9-11 the news came out that America was poised to officially endorse a Palestinian state -- before the events of 9-11 interrupted those plans.

Careful. This is shaky ground.

During the Yom Kippur war, the US government almost insanely withheld anti-tank weapons from the Israelis, and, according to legend, provided highly detailed signal intelligence to the Arabs. (Remember the Liberty?) Many in Israel believed they were going to lose that war. It was only at the last minute that some elements of the US military and government arrangement shipments of anti-tank weapons to Israel and allowed the tide to turn...

Also, despite the strange and grasping Bush apologists here on FR, it doesn't appear that the current administration is deeply committed to the well being of Israel.

Genesis 12:2-3 --

I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you...

America has never allowed Israel to suffer as she has of late. America has never been cursed by terrorist attacks as she has of late. Let's beware of post hoc, ergo propter hoc reasoning, but also let's beware of making God angry.
