Hi Tenchusatsu; Re "I don't share your opinion here. Let's just say that if America was isolationist back when South Korea was invaded, my family, my relatives and I wouldn't be enjoying the American way of life." I'll repeat myself, but with emphasis so what I meant is more clear: "My own feeling on it is that we should have extricated ourselves completely from the Middle East at the end of the Cold War. I wanted an isolationist America." But on general principle, I don't see why it's the responsibility of the United States to save anyone's butts but American citizens and our allies. In the case of South Korea, you were an ally, aligned with us against the threat of global Communism. I don't see the alignment of Israel with American interests, and I don't trust our mortal, fallible, human limited ability to fairly decide moral issues between the Israelis and Arabs. We're lucky if we can figure out what's in our own best interest, the rest of the crap we should let sort out by itself. -- Carl
