Then you are no better or moral than the rest of them. WHY should America waste her wealth and her blood to attack one soveriegn foreign nation,purely because another sovereign nations wants us to do that? Let Israel attack Iraq themselves,if it is all that important to them.

Because Israel is an ally. I don't know, but am reasonably certain, that we have some sort of mutual agression pact between ourselves in Israel. Also, we had the largest role in the creation of Israel. We have a certain amount of responsibility towards it.

Since this is the case, I feel it is our responsibility to help Israel as much as possible, provided that said help does not compromise our own condition. If we are not prepared to do this, then we should stop pretending we are allies with Israel, and treat them in a neutral manner in word and deed.

Not really. They've even been selling classified military hardware we GIVE them to the Chinese. It is a more accurate statement to say "Israel isn't our enemy".

I seriously doubt this.

Also, we had the largest role in the creation of Israel.

I thought that was more of a UN thing that a US thing. None the less,we also created the Panama Canal. Are we still responsible for it? Should we maintain it for the Chinese?

We have a certain amount of responsibility towards it.

No we don't. Israel is a sovereign nation,and capable of taking care of herself.
