Dubya's Cleaning up the ME... Holy Cow! Isreal has WMD....
And, I would imagine more than anyone else in the area.

(Please don't turm this into an I/P discussion. This is us and Israel)

Sharon is about as stable as a psychotic on crack. Dubya "wants to bring stability" to the ME.

How in the world is the ME going to feel safe if the only real powers in the area are Israel and Pakistan?

Where the heck can Bush's war on "terrorism" end when it tries to keep the face of legitimacy while it treads the PNAC road?

1. Didn't we supply them?
IIRC, didn't we supply the Israelis with the fissile materials to build their bombs in the first place? How hypocritical.

It's true that radical Islamic clerics and corrupt and ineffective Arab governments desperate for a scapegoat bear much responsibility for the proliferation of virulently anti-western Islamic militancy, but Americans are hardly blameless. We've made ourselves so easy to demonize. :-(

3. I agree with everything you just said
the anti-israel chic has really sunk in deep on the left.

If I was an Israeli, I'd probably be a Shuini party member, not a likudist, however Sharon was democratically elected and does not target civilians, like the terrorists he tries to protect his people from do

4. Israel gets "special treatment" every time
All people are equal.......



......but some are more equal than others.



I find it hard to actually give a shit about Israel.
