Your facts are a spot off. I'm an American living in Europe, who has the perspective to recognize that US is the greatest and only superpower on earth. I never paid much attention to Israel before last Sept. 11, when I started studying the Middle East quite intently. My best friend is a Lebanese Catholic Arab, and one fourth of my football squad are Arabs. Last year I came to the disturbing realisation that the Arabic countries of the Middle East had some very, very serious and dangerous problems. I am of Jewish ancestry, but have never been in a synagogue and spent most of high school and much of college in a Pentecostal Church. My concern is that the real problems of the Middle East are addressed, and I'm very concerned with those who have convinced themselves that the extermination of Israel will somehow make America or Europe safe from Bin Laden. So for the record, I would appreciate it if you would try to restrict your comments to those at least bordering on reality.
