Is that the Pat Buchanan, the rabid nationalist, who habitually makes thinly-veiled racist statements? Writing in an Arab-American magazine? Politics makes strange bedfellows. <<it is not as if all things american are hated>> Sure, the things are yearned for. But the ideas are hated. The dilemma being, it's the ideas that made the things possible. As far as the Israili-Arab-American triangle, American support for Israel is permanent and deep, and the Moslem world is just going to have to adjust to it. Or not. The Jewish Diaspora is over. 80% of the world's Jews now live in the US or Israel, and continuing emigration from places like Argentina and Ukraine will push that to 90%, by the end of this decade. So, in effect, Jewish and American nationalism has blended together, and become one. Israel is the 51st State, for all practical military/economic/political purposes. With that said, America could certainly use its leverage (and this would be in Israel's longterm interest), to stop the Jewish demographic conquest, the creeping annexation, of the West Bank. Sharon's settlement policy is the mirror image of the Palestinian Right of Return demand; both make peace impossible. Bin Laden is dangerous, because there is more than a little amount of truth, in his idea that Israel is a Crusader State, a beachhead of Jewish/Christian conquest in the middle of the Moslem heartland.
