Actually we agree more than we disagree.

I expect the Zionist lobby to lose power and influence when the American people finally realize the cost in blood and treasure they are paying to meet its insatiable demands.

A few billion dollars a year in aid to Israel is one thing. But letting the Likudnik neo-cons touch off a "clash of civilizations" with all that implies in lost blood and treasure is something else entirely.

He added: "Israel's our ally. We're committed to the safety of Israel, and it's a commitment we will keep.<<
