I would have to agree with you there, but I would take it a step further... the U.S. government has always asked Israel to show restraint... I think if we simply let Israel do what they wanted to do, we wouldn't have the problem we have today in that region of the world... GZ

You wrote:<font color=blue>"Israel has the world's fourth most powerful military force."<font color=black> Why does one of the smallest democracies have one of the most powerful military forces? Why doesn't Iceland? Or, New Zealand? Or, Portugal? Would it have anything to do with the combined, huge, oil rich, racist Arab nations trying to destroy Israel through five wars? If your tiny nation was attacked five times by huge neighboring countries, would you form an army to defend yourself? America attacks Iraq, to rid the world of a terrorist threat, and to rid the world of one of it's most ruthless, dangerous and unstable dictators, and most of the world shouts bloody murder. The combined oil-rich, Arab nations attempt to destroy the only real democracy in the Middle East, Israel, FIVE TIMES, and no one says a word. I guess that racism, religious intolerance, and hate is OK as long as it's done at the hands of those that own most of the oil.
