asdfs and others,
So whoever does not support Israel unconditionally either belongs to the death cult or is a dhimmi? What kind of logic is that? It is for the sake of Israel herself that I think the US has to be more logical in its support for Israel. Israel may be the only democracy in the region but that does not justify some of her actions. It is easy for you to sit thousands of miles away and support the radical policies of the Israeli government but at the end of the day it is the Israeli people who have to deal with the consequences of the system that they have put in place in the occupied territories.
If there is a serious war in the region, it will be Israel that will get hurt the hardest. The US with her fifty states and large population with vast oceans around her will not be hurt seriously. There are many voices within Israel that have come to realize this but the Israel lobby in the US has not allowed a natural debate take place because people like you are quick to label any criticism of Israel by the worst names possible. This in the long run will be the most dangerous threat to Israel.
R.C., I don’t think kicking me is going to solve any of our problems. I admire the western civilization but I don’t think militarism has contributed much to it. Yes there are still men in the western world. They are the men who are not afraid of self-criticism and are ready to correct their mistakes. Trust me, you won’t match the Islamic machos, since they are ready to blow themselves up and you are not (for any reason including the US security). It has not been the machos who have built this civilization. And if you are ‘man’ enough (in your definition of ‘man’) then you should be in Iraq or Afghanistan helping out the US and its allies, not here offering your kicks.
