re: Explain to me why the people and governments of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Oman, Yemen and/or Lebanon would have disliked the US back in 1990 if Israel were not part of the equation?

Of course they dislike us... but having a puppet nuclear power in their back yard insures that they will sell us their oil.

Ideological? Give me a break. It's strategic.

I agree with you Elroy. I think our support of Israel gains the support of American Jews and apocolyptic evangelicals for domestic politicians, and is of absolutely no benefit whatsoever to America - quite the opposite, supporting Israel is harmful to the global interests of the United States.
