Tribal feelings aside, I do not believe that letting Israel be destroyed just to prove a point is in America's best interest. No. I would concur that it would not be. But neither is it in our interest to be dragged into an all-out regional war with the Arab world if there is not absolute belief that Israel has been willing to take EVERY risk in bringing about peace in the region, however unlikely that prospect might be. But the destruction of Israel would not prove to be a world ending event either. Some Americans even believe that Israel is more trouble than it's worth, thus encouraging the belief that there should be no effort to defend the nation. And that's why Israel can't push their luck too far. Even if they were able to nuke their Arab enemies before they were destoyed, from the US perspective that would be just fine.. Fewer Arabs we have to deal with. Again... I'm not saying I don't care about the fate of Israel. But if American boys are going to be sent to fight and die, Israel had better be as just in the cause they are dragging us into, as they can possibly be. Hawk
