This is the most ignorant thing I have ever heard. That's like saying there were never Indians in America, because we white people have been here for 400 years, by God! Listen, Jews were kicked out of Israel nearly 2000 years before the UN formed it again. Anyone who thinks that land sat there without people on it for that long waiting for the Jews to come back is just well... dumb. quote:
ORIGINAL: Floggings4You The thing is, the US begged Israel to sit on its hands during the first Gulf War. While Saddam was launching SCUD missiles into Israel weekly (if not daily), the US told Israel to 'sit tight', and let US handle things. We're still trying--now dividing our forces between Iraq and Afghanistan, and getting little to nowhere against Al-Quaida in the former, and the Taliban in the latter. Now--again--missiles are again raining on Israel. Why doesn't the US treat Israel like an ally, and tell her to do what she needs to do, to defend herself (and that we'll support her--militarily and diplomatically--should she need such help?) Much of the ME keeps harping about the Palestinians, but are they really Palestinians? (Aren't they, in fact, Israelis?) Doesn't there have to be a Palestine, before there can be Palestinians? And, didn't Israel win the land where the 'Palestinians' currently live, in 1967, when Israel defeated--among other agressors--Egypt? Why should Israel have to 'give' that land 'back'? (And, why should Israel give it to the 'Palestinians'? Why not to Egypt?) 'W' is the first US President I've heard (and I've been listening to Presidents since Nixon) to state that the creation of an independent Palestinian state has "always been a US priority". And yet, shortly after each reminder of this, a new intifada, a new wave of 'Palestinian' violence against Israel and/or the US, begins all over again. Yeah, I'm almost ready to say, take the gloves off in the ME, and let Israel loose again, and see if the results this time are any different than they were 40 years ago. Somehow, if anything, I think the rest of the ME would fare worse now, than they fared then. (And they didn't do very well at all, in 1967.) quote:

I'd like to see another war, just to see the outcome. I'm tired of the pissing contest. LET THE GAMES BEGIN! Wow,"just to see the outcome". errrr.... How about Armageddon? That`s a fun game..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No wonder America lost it`s respect.Folks like you are running it. We are so fucked....
