Ask the Sunnis whether they think Israel or half our Navy sitting right off the coast of Iran trying to provoke something is a bigger threat.
My logic is that Israel in no more important than anybody else at this point


You logic certainly lost me at this point. How could Israel possibly stop Iran or a Sunni-Shiite civil war? What has Israel got to do with the flow of oil in the Persian Gulf?

BTW, if our sitting in the Persian Gulf is provocative, what would you call Iran's kidnapping or attempted kidnapping of US and British naval forces in international waters? Not to mention sending Qods forces into Iraq to kill Americans? Isn't that provocative?
