You never responded to the question about whether you were the poster with the same name on another board who seems to want a holocaust in the USA.

With respect to the post to which I am responding, you so very simply categorize US policy as being dictated by Israel. In today's news, the threat from Al Queda to Saudi Arabia is detailed. Although I disagree, this administration seems to believe that the Saudis must be protected.

It is clear that even if Israel were not in existence, the US would be at war with terrorists. The US would not stand by if there were threats to its perceived "friends" in the mideast and elsewhere. US policy is dictated to a large extent on relations with Kuwait, UAE, Egypt, Jordan and growing relations with the other Arab nations. Al Queda and its cohorts will not be "happy" until their are Moslems states in each of the nations in the Mideast. Israel is a tiny part of their concern but a polarizing one, enabling them to get attention from the haters.

To disregard this is to ignore what is happening in favor of a simplistic approach designed to steer your reader into thinking that everything is the fault of the Israelis.

Just ain't so.

Nothing like escalating a nuclear arms-race in the Middle East and trying to keep others from defending themselves.

They see what happened to Iraq because the lacked WMDs and nukes.
