So there it is. It appears that an Israeli terror expert is running a web site devoted to causing problems with the US' relations with Arabs. Translating what they say in Arabic is "causing problems"? Don't you think we found a few more problems by ignoring what they said back home? Now do you understand why those of us who have already been assimilated by the "Borg" (i.e. US melting pot) don't trust new immigrants to tell us the truth about their homelands? According to Nadine Carroll, the Israelis have never done anything wrong. If this is true they must surely be God's people, but even given this, it's not obvious to me that letting Israel set our foreign policy is a good idea. I don't trust you. Now you are really speaking like a fool. This is in our interests much more than Israel's. We are the ones who have seen our power diminish and Al Quaeda rise due to our failure in Iraq. Israel is just going to be on the receiving end of Iraqi scuds. Big advantage there! If you think that William Safire and Paul Wolfowitz and Victor Hanson (just to name a few) have all been coopted to advocate for Israel's interests instead of the US's, you are an idiot.
