Searle, the Arab world fought 3 wars with Israel and every time lost. Had they fought none, Israel would be much smaller even than it is now and the Palestinians much better off. Don't break off a little pinky like Palestine and tell me it's the problem. The problem is Israel vs. Arabs, it's been there since Biblical times, and apparently it's fair game for any potential antagonist who wishes to use that conflict to their own nefarious ends. The list of the latter includes Persia, Russia, Europe, and China. The Palestinians...nobody gives a crap about them east or west. What I do agree with you about is that the US is better off being isolationist. Unfortunately I think some of these groups would merely get bored and start bombing in Europe. If you wish to bring up Bilderburgers and wealthy powerful cohorts trying to run the show into the ground in order to control it, I'll believe that one too, but sure seems dumb.

>There has been more than enough published by and from the various US "think-tanks" which not only indicate, but seriously demonstrate, that the way forward for the US is to expand its military and consolidate its "empire". bangornews.com >>>The report was written five months before the attacks of Sept. 11 and is authored by six members of the current administration, including Paul Wolfowitz, John Bolton, I. Lewis Libby, along with 21 other people who attended meetings or contributed papers for the report. Bookman goes on to explain what the plans are for world military domination and how Bush has mirrored those plans so far. "In essence, it lays out a plan for a permanent U.S. military and economic domination of every region on the globe, unfettered by international treaty or concern. And to make the plan a reality, it envisions a stark expansion of our global military presence."<<<
