Neolib, the difference in the case of Israel is that it's not government policy to create greater Israel. Uh?? What was the creation of the State of Israel, plus the early Jewish conquests against Arabs? Because Israel won in Arab instigated wars of conquest and genocide, it would be reasonable for them to keep that territory. That's the rule in dog-eat-dog tribal conflicts Which is all that the Arabs are trying to do to Jews currently. You can't have it both ways. If it was OK then, it's OK now. If you think some correction for past errors is in order, then you can reasonably request better behaviour from others. It's not just a few mad Mullahs ranting about Israel. It's the president. That means it's the country. Bush has made a number of stupid comments. Does that make it American policy? Governmental policy is significantly more involved than the utterances of the President. BTW, AFAIK American policy was never terribly aggressive against Irish patriots within our borders. That was IMO an issue.
