"Where have you been Jim??

That's ALREADY the perception among many Arabs (except for those who have lived here in the US for years (including several of my Afghani friends who are now US citizens)."

Hawk, that's so self-evident that I thought it didn't need saying.

However, to those who are imputing brain-deadness to me, please allow me to rephrase the statement that will meet loftier requirements.

"It will reinforce the article of faith among billions of people that the United States and Israel are unalterably opposed to Arabs."

As to the rest of your post, I think you have forgotten where I stand on these issues - and I'm not about to make any brown-nosing affirmation of the need to use force where appropriate - just to satisfy the blood lust on this thread.

I repeat:

There is a case for negotiations. Absent successful negotiations guaranteeing Israel's borders (as proposed by the Saudis) - the future is predictable.
