Look, you answer makes no sense, for obvious reasons. Those reasons are most importantly, don't you think that israel had an obligation prior to attacking the US liberty to verify whether indeed this was a US ship or not. It was israels moral duty to our country to find out whether this ship flying the American flag was in fact a US Naval ship. Somehow that fact falls into obscurity with those that will defend this tragic move made by israel.

Sorry Nadine... I don't buy the Israeli story on the USS Liberty... Too much was "hushed up" by both sides after the event. However, that attack was the decision of a particular group of military and political leaders at that time, and not the fault of the Israeli people as a whole, so I don't lose much sleep over it. Personally, I believe there were several reasons that have been theorized that would have "justified" an attack on that surveillance ship by these certain parties. Some say it was a cover-up of the impending assault upon the Golan Heights, and some say it was to cover up a massacre of Egyptian troops on the Sinai peninsula by a certain Israeli brigage commander. The Liberty just doesn't factor into my "equation" on the mid-east. It was a tragic event and I would love to get the culprits responsible, but I'm not about to blame all Israelis over it. But I have no doubt that the Israeli leadership would do it, or something like it, again... were they to consider it in their "vital" interests. Hawkmoon
