Cogito its not just "they hate us because we support Israel". And if we left Iraq and stopped supporting Israel tomorrow we would still have serious issues with Al Qaeda and their ilk. Its possible that each action could actually make the problems worse (both because they might be seen as giving in if we are pushed hard enough for long enough, and Iraq specifically because we would give the Al Qaeda movement a chance to get off the ropes where it is being hurt and we would destroy our credibility with future allies in the fight against Islamic radicals, and to a less extent in any fight that is anti-terrorism/anti-insurgency/anti-guerilla, rather than conventional)
