Not wanting Israel running American foreign policy and meddling in American domestic affairs does not mean I am against Israel.
I post these threads about Bahrain because it is important to know America is fighting a war on terror and what goes on in Israel is a side-show. A side-show which may help America but one which also has the real potential of messing up our war on terror big time.
I see Israel as just another ally. I have no emotional attachment to the country what-so-ever. I sure don't want the Israeli model of government (theocratic, socialist, nationalistic and paranoid) exported to America. Israel ranks #43 on the Heritage scale of economic freedom, far below countries such as Canada, Germany and Great Britain which are considered repressive by conservative standards. Israel practices affirmative action with a vengence and that is distasteful also. But it is their country and they can do what they want. They just have no business telling America what to do.
If Israelis would get over the paranoia and frenzy to get America into the war now they would see what they are doing is not in their best interest. America needs time to build up. Clinton, who about 80% of Jews voted for, gutted our military. We don't have enough pilots. Those accidents which seem to happen every week and kill Americans are a result of the neglect of the Clinton years. America should fight when we want to fight and where we want to fight. Israel will benefit greatly when we take out Saddam and fix Iran. Israel pushes us into the war too soon and more Americans will die than would have.
